Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

(a) The Department may place a residential health care facility on provisional license status in the following circumstances:

1. Upon issuance of a Notice for Revocation or Suspension of a License, pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:27A-18.8 or 18.9, for a period extending through final adjudication of the action;

2. Upon issuance of an order for curtailment of admissions pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:27A-18.6, for a minimum period of three months and for a maximum period extending through 90 days following the date the Department finds the facility has achieved substantial compliance with all applicable licensing regulations;

3. For failure to satisfy a civil penalty due and owing pursuant to N.J.A.C. 5:27A-18.4; or

4. Upon a recommendation to the Federal government or the New Jersey Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services for termination of a provider agreement for failure to meet the Federal certification regulations.

(b) A residential health care facility placed on provisional license status shall be placed on notice of same, in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 5:27A-18.2. Provisional license status is effective upon receipt of the notice, although the facility may request a hearing to contest provisional license status in accordance with the requirements set forth in N.J.A.C. 8:43E-4.1. Where a facility chooses to contest provisional license status by requesting a hearing in accordance with the provisions set forth herein and in N.J.A.C. 8:43E-4.1, provisional license status remains effective at least until the final decision or adjudication (as applicable) of the matter, or beyond in instances where the Department's action is upheld, in accordance with these rules. In addition, provisional license status remains effective in cases where the underlying violations which caused the issuance of provisional licensure status are the subject of appeal and/or litigation, as applicable, in accordance with these rules.

(c) While a residential health care facility is on provisional license status, the following shall occur:

1. Withholding of authorization or review of any application filed with the Department for approval of additional beds or services; and

2. Notification of facility placement on provisional license status to any public agency that provides funding or third party reimbursement to the facility or that has statutory responsibility for monitoring the quality of care rendered to patients or residents.

(d) A residential health care facility placed on provisional license status shall conspicuously post the provisional license within the facility.
