Current through Reg. 50, No. 187; September 24, 2024
(1) Probationary License.
(a) Conditions Permitting Issuance.
A probationary license is issued to a new applicant upon completion of all
applicable requirements. For providers licensed for the same component at
multiple locations, the license will display which service component locations
are probationary and which provider locations have a current regular license
for that service component.
(b) If
all licensure requirements are not met after issuing of a probationary license,
a regular license will not be issued. If the applicant continues to pursue
licensure, a new application including the applicable fees must be
submitted.
(c) Special Requirements
Regarding Probationary Licenses. The following special requirements apply
regarding new applicants:
1. A new applicant
shall refrain from providing non-exempt services until a probationary license
is issued;
2. New applicants that
lease or purchase any real property during the application process do so at
their own risk. Such lease or purchase does not obligate the Department to
approve the applicant for licensing; and
3. In instances where an applicant fails to
admit individuals for services during the initial probationary period, the
Department shall not issue a regular license, even where other standards have
been met. If an applicant continues to pursue licensure, the applicant must
reapply and pay the associated fees.
4. The Department shall not issue a
probationary license when doing so would place the health, safety, or welfare
of individuals at risk.
(d) Issuing New Licenses. All licenses issued
to a provider shall have the same expiration dates; any additional licenses
that are issued to the provider will carry the same expiration date as
provider's existing regular licenses.
(e) Methadone Medication Assisted Treatment
for Opioid Use Disorder Addiction Provider Licenses. A methadone medication
assisted treatment for opioid use disorder for addiction provider shall not
initiate methadone medication assisted treatment during the probationary
period, until SAMHSA provisional certification and DEA registration has been
issued.
(2) Regular License.
(a) A regular license is valid for a
period of 12 months from the date of issuance.
(b) If a regular license replaces a
probationary license, the regular license shall be valid for a period of 12
months from the date the probationary license was issued if there are no other
licenses issued to the provider.
(c) When a provider has an existing regular
license, the regular license replacing a probationary license will carry the
same expiration date as the provider's existing license.
(d) When a regular license replaces an
interim license, the anniversary date of the regular license shall not
change.
(3) Interim License.
(a) Conditions Permitting Issuance.
An interim license will replace a regular license for a period not to exceed 90
days, where the Department finds that any one (1) of the following conditions
exist.
1. A facility or component of the
provider is in substantial noncompliance with licensing standards. A provider
is considered in substantial noncompliance if it is in compliance with less
than 80 percent of the licensing standards.
2. The provider has failed to provide proof
of compliance with local fire, safety, or health requirements.
3. The provider is involved in license
suspension or revocation proceedings.
All components within a facility that are affected shall be listed on the interim license.
(b) Reissuing an Interim License. The
Department may reissue an interim license for an additional 90 days at the end
of the initial 90-day period in the case of extreme hardship. Extreme hardship
is defined as an inability to reach full compliance that cannot be attributed
to the provider.
