Functional Assessment

---

Functional assessments for our health services must occur annually within 365 days of the last assessment for all funded HCBS IDD Waiver recipients. ECK CDDO will send out a notification form two months prior to functional assessment indicating date, time, and location of the assessment.  If you have questions about the Functional Assessment, contact  the CDDO at 785-242-7200.

There is a new functional assessment tool for IDD called the MFEI. At this time there is no required documentation that needs to be given to the assessor. However, you will need to be prepared to answer questions about needs and behaviors that have fallen within a 3-7 day look back period along with medical needs. It is acceptable to provide written documentation to the assessor, if available, that will help answer the questions on the assessment in the most accurate and thorough manner.
