Text

The Department of Human Services Division of Developmental Disabilities may impose progressive sanctions on providers that fail to comply with conditions specified by rule, or contract agreement, as determined by the Department. Sanctions include, but are not limited to, payment suspension, loss of payment, enrollment limitations, admission holds, removal of individuals currently served, or other actions up to and including contract termination, certification revocation, or licensure revocation. In situations in which recipients of services are placed at imminent risk of harm, steps to ensure the safety of individuals and any provider sanctions shall be taken expeditiously and not progressively. A service provider that has received a sanction may appeal the sanction in writing to the Department of Healthcare and Family Services within 30 days of receipt of the sanction. Steps to ensure the safety of individuals may be taken regardless of a service provider appeal. The Department shall adopt rules as necessary to implement this Section.
