Sec. 10.63.06.03. Additional Application Requirements for Licenses Requiring Accreditation

A. In addition to the application requirements for all community-based behavioral health services licenses, the provisions of this regulation apply to all applicants for licenses to provide community-based behavioral health services, if the license is required by this subtitle to be accreditation-based.

B. A program applying for an accreditation-based license to provide community-based behavioral health services shall submit with the program’s application:

(1) The program’s most recent behavioral health accreditation survey report;

(2) Any corrective action plans required by the behavioral health accreditation organization survey report of the program; and

(3) The final letter or certificate issuing accreditation for the program.

C. Before determining whether a program requiring an accreditation-based license to provide community-based behavioral health services is eligible for licensure, the Department’s designated approval unit may conduct an on-site review in cases in which significant concerns have been raised regarding the operations of the program or the organization that accredited the program.
