Arkansas Administrative Code
Agency 016 - DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES
Division 23 - Behavioral Health Services
Rule 016.23.09-001 - Rehabilitation Services for Persons with Mental Illness Provider Certification Amendment 1
Universal Citation: AR Admin Rules 016.23.09-001
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 9, September, 2024
Section V.
1.
There is a moratorium on the
certification of new RSPMI sites. "New site" means any site not certified as an
RSPMI site as of October 31, 2008, except:
(i)
sites for which a pending
application was under review by the Division of Behavioral Health Services on
October 31, 2008;
(ii)
replacement sites opened by an existing provider to provide
ongoing continuity of RSPMI services when the provider is terminating services
at a currently certified and operating RSPMI site;
(iii)
sites in continuous lawful
operation furnishing RSPMI services since May 31, 2008.
2.
The moratorium
shall be in effect until December 31, 2010, unless altered by
amendment of this rule.
3.
If the Director of the
Division of Behavioral Health Services determines that the moratorium is
causing an undue hardship to persons with mental illness, the Director may
authorize a reasonable accommodation. An undue hardship may exist if medically
necessary services become unavailable due to closure of a site or an RSPMI
provider ceasing operations.
4.
The Division of Behavioral
Health will promulgate certification procedures to be effective concurrent with
the end of the moratorium.
