A biopsychosocial assessment built for placement.

A structured assessment organized around the six dimensions, with a risk rating and justification for each, ending in a level-of-care recommendation the record can support.

An assessment can be thorough and still fail a payer review if the level-of-care recommendation does not follow visibly from the findings. Reviewers look for the line from each dimension's rating to the placement, and for the reason a lower level would not be enough.

This template is built around that line. History and substance use come first, then each of the six dimensions with prompts, space for findings, a risk rating, and a justification. It ends with the diagnostic impression, the recommended level, why less care would not work, and the patient's response.
