(2) Agencies must notify the RH Program within 30 calendar days of a change in address, business affiliation, clinic location or closure, licensure, ownership, certification, billing agents or Federal Tax Identification Number (TIN).

Agencies must work with the RH Program to develop a corrective action plan to resolve any areas of noncompliance.

(4) Agencies must notify the RH Program of intent to cease operating RHCare, CCare, or AbortionCare at any clinic certified with the RH Program 30 calendar days before ceasing operations, unless immediate closure is necessary for reasons beyond the agency's control.

(5) Agencies are independent contractors and not officers, employees, or agents of the RH Program.

(6) Agencies are responsible for training staff on RHCare, CCare, or AbortionCare operations and requirements based on applicable certification within three months of signing the MSA.
