Universal Citation: 26 TX Admin Code ยง 509.84
Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) A facility is deemed to have received any Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) correspondence on the date of receipt, or three business days after mailing, whichever is earlier.
(b) When HHSC finds deficiencies:
(1) HHSC provides the facility with a written
Statement of Deficiencies (SOD) within 10 business days after the exit
conference via U.S. Postal Service or electronic mail.
(2) Within 10 calendar days after the
facility's receipt of the SOD, the facility shall return to HHSC a written Plan
of Correction (POC) that addresses each cited deficiency, including timeframes
for corrections, together with any additional evidence of compliance.
(A) HHSC determines if a POC and proposed
timeframes are acceptable, and, if accepted, notifies the facility in
writing.
(B) If HHSC does not
accept the POC, HHSC notifies the facility in writing and requests the facility
submit a modified POC and any additional evidence no later than 10 business
days after HHSC notifies the facility in writing.
(C) The facility shall correct the identified
deficiencies and submit to HHSC evidence verifying implementation of corrective
action within the timeframes set forth in the POC, or as otherwise specified by
HHSC.
(3) Regardless of
the facility's compliance with this subsection or HHSC's acceptance of a
facility's POC, HHSC may, at any time, propose to take enforcement action as
appropriate under this chapter.
