Section 22-A3426. DECERTIFICATION PROCESS
-
3426.1Decertification is the revocation of the certification issued by the Director to an organization or entity as an MHRS provider. A decertified MHRS provider shall not be entitled to provide any MHRS services and shall not be eligible for reimbursement for any services as a MHRS provider.
3426.2Grounds for revocation include a provider’s failure to comply with the certification requirements contained in this chapter, the provider’s breach of its Human Care Agreement, violations of federal or D.C. law, or any other action that constitutes a threat to the health or safety of consumers. Nothing in this chapter requires the Director to issue a CMP prior to revoking certification.
3426.3If grounds for revocation have been met, the Director will issue a written notice of revocation setting forth the factual basis for the revocation, the effective date, and right to request an administrative review.
3426.4The provider may request an administrative review from the Director within fifteen (15) business days of the date on the notice of revocation.
3426.5Each request for an administrative review shall contain a concise statement of the reason(s) why the provider should not have the certification revoked and include any relevant supporting documentation.
3426.6Each administrative review shall be conducted by the Director and shall be completed within fifteen (15) business days of the receipt of the provider’s request.
3426.7The Director shall issue a written decision and provide a copy to the provider. If the Director approves the revocation of the provider’s certification, the provider may request a hearing under the D.C. Administrative Procedure Act, D.C. Official Code § 2-501, et seq., within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Director’s written decision. The administrative hearing shall be limited to the issues raised in the administrative review request. The revocation shall be stayed pending resolution of the hearing.
3426.8Once certification is revoked, the MHRS provider shall not be allowed to reapply for certification for a period of two (2) years following the date of the order of revocation. If a provider reapplies for certification, the provider must reapply in accordance with the established certification standards for the type of services provided, and show evidence that the grounds for the revocation have been corrected.
