Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. The hospital shall submit the following items to the department in order to add a CRC-SU to its existing license:

1. a licensing application on the department's designated form;

2. the required licensing fee, if applicable;

3. a copy of the prerequisite approval from OBH and/or the appropriate human service district or authority; and

4. other documentation as required by the department, including a current Office of Public Health (OPH)/Sanitation approval and Office of State Fire Marshal approval for occupancy and licensing plan review.

B. Following receipt of the completed licensing application, the department shall conduct an on-site survey and inspection to determine compliance with the licensing laws, regulations, and standards.

1. For a Level I CRC-SU, the department may, in its sole discretion, allow a verified attestation by the licensed hospital to substitute for an on-site survey and inspection.

C. If the on-site inspection determines that the hospital is compliant with the requirements and licensing standards for a CRC-SU, the department shall issue the hospital a sub-license/certificate indicating that the CRC-SU is licensed as a specialty unit of the hospital.

1. The sub-license/certificate shall designate the level of the CRC-SU and the licensed capacity of the CRC-SU.

2. The sub-license/certificate shall be posted in a conspicuous place in the designated CRC-SU.

D. A hospital shall not operate a CRC-SU at a level higher than what has been licensed and designated by the department on the sub-license/certificate.

E. The expiration date of the sub-license/certificate shall coincide with the expiration date of the hospital license. The CRC-SU sub-license/certificate shall be renewed at the time the hospital's license is renewed. The licensing agency may perform an on-site survey and inspection for an annual renewal.

F. The sub-license/certificate shall be valid only for the designated geographic location and shall be issued only for the person/premises named in the application. The geographic location of the CRC-SU shall not be moved, changed, or relocated without notification to HSS, approval by HSS, and the re-issuance of the sub-license/certificate.

G. The department may conduct on-site surveys and inspections at the CRC-SU as necessary to ensure compliance with these licensing standards.

H. Repealed.
