All ICFs-MR including those operated by the State of Maine must be licensed as an ICF-MR by DHHS in order to qualify for reimbursement. However, the license shall not be considered valid evidence that the facility meets all requirements for certification under MaineCare regulations if the Secretary of Health and Human Services has established, on the basis of on-site monitoring survey or other federal review, that DHHS' survey agency has failed to properly apply federal certification standards or procedures.
