Admission to MRSI

Thank you for considering MRSI as your service provider. Below is a list of steps that must be taken in order to be accepted into the MRSI program. A Program Coordinator will assist you through each step.

• If you do not have a Medicaid Waiver Case Manager to assist you, MRSI will refer you to the Home and Community-Based Services Section.
• A Program Coordinator will meet with you to give you the MRSI application, handbook, and Release of Information forms to begin gathering pertinent information.
• When all the information required on the MRSI application is obtained, a Program Coordinator will present your case to the Intake Committee.
• Intake Criteria: MRSI can serve individuals with diagnosed intellectual/ developmental disabilities or acquired brain injury provided resources are available.
• Acceptance of persons served at MRSI is based upon the applicant meeting the above criteria, MRSI having adequate staff, and the ability to meet the needs of the applicant. Order of acceptance is determined by:
       1) Severity of health and safety issues
       2) Date of Application
  
• Waiting Lists follow the same order.
• If approved for the MRSI program, a team meeting will be scheduled to begin the service planning process.

Obtaining necessary documentation and obtaining eligibility from the State can take a significant amount of time. MRSI will do everything possible to expedite the process.
