Diagnostic Assessment (DA) and Rehabilitation Services

A diagnostic assessment that supports rehabilitation and recovery:

• Explains why the diagnosis/illness is affecting this person in this specific way.
• Points to the major areas of functional impairment
• Establishes who this person is and how the diagnosis interferes with this person’s life

A recipient may receive a DA at several points in the Minnesota service system.

In most cases, the DA is performed outside of the rehabilitation service.

The DA must establish the presence of an eligible diagnosis.
