§2120.5. License issuance; application; onsite inspection
A. Each application for licensure of a home- and community-based service provider shall be submitted to the department on forms provided by the licensing agency and shall contain such information as that agency may require. Additional information required by the licensing agency shall be provided by the applicant as requested.
B. Each application for licensure and application for renewal of licensure shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable license fee in the amount set by the licensing agency in accordance with R.S. 40:2120.4.
C.(1) Following receipt of the completed application and licensing fee, the licensing agency shall perform an onsite survey and inspection. If, after the onsite survey and inspection, the licensing agency finds that the facility or provider meets the requirements established under this Part and the licensing standards adopted pursuant to this Part, a license shall be issued.
(2) The licensing agency shall work to ensure that surveys are coordinated to the greatest extent possible with other state regulatory agencies in order to reduce duplication of effort on the part of the state, as well as the regulated provider. This provision shall not apply to complaint investigations.
D. As a condition for a renewal of a license, the licensee shall submit to the licensing agency a completed annual renewal application on forms prescribed by the licensing agency and containing such information as required by the agency; additionally, the annual renewal licensing fee shall be submitted with the annual renewal application. Upon receipt of the completed annual renewal application and the annual renewal licensing fee, the licensing agency shall determine if the facility or provider continues to meet the requirements established pursuant to this Part and the licensing standards adopted pursuant to this Part. The licensing agency may perform an onsite survey and inspection upon annual renewal. If the facility or provider continues to meet the requirements established pursuant to this Part and the licensing standards adopted pursuant to this Part, a license shall be issued which is valid for one year.
E. The licensing agency may perform an onsite inspection at reasonable times as necessary to ensure compliance with the provisions of this Part.
