Section 333-035-0260 - Informal Enforcement

(1) If during an investigation or survey Authority staff document violations of hospice program licensing laws or conditions of participation, the Authority may issue a statement of deficiencies that cites the law alleged to have been violated and the facts supporting the allegation.

(2) A signed plan of correction must be received by the Authority within 10 business days from the date the statement of deficiencies was received by the hospice program. A signed plan of correction will not be used by the Authority as an admission of the violations alleged in the statement of deficiencies.

(3) A hospice program shall correct all deficiencies within 60 days from the date of the exit conference unless an extension of time is requested from the Authority. A request for such an extension shall be submitted in writing and must accompany the plan of correction.

(4) The Authority shall determine if a written plan of correction is acceptable. If the plan of correction is not acceptable to the Authority, the Authority shall notify the hospice program administrator in writing or by telephone:

(a) Identifying which provisions in the plan the Authority finds unacceptable;

(b) Citing the reasons the Authority finds them unacceptable; and

(c) Requesting that the plan of correction be modified and resubmitted no later than 10 working days from the date the letter of non-acceptance was received by the administrator.

(5) If the hospice program does not come into compliance by the date of correction reflected on the plan of correction or 60 days from date of the exit conference, whichever is sooner, the Authority may propose to deny, suspend, or revoke the hospice program license, or impose civil penalties.
