Part 4764.0070 - REVOCATION, REINSTATEMENT, SURRENDER, RECOGNITION OF EXTERNAL ACCREDITING BODIES AND PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME PROGRAMS, AND PROVISIONAL CERTIFICATION AND RECERTIFICATION
Subpart 1.Revocation.

If the commissioner denies an appeal or a health care home fails to appeal the commissioners decision to deny recertification, the provider will no longer be certified as a health care home.

Subp. 2.Reinstatement of revocation.

A provider whose certification as a health care home has been revoked may apply for reinstatement. If the provider was previously certified for three years or longer at the time of revocation, it must meet the recertification requirements to be reinstated. The provider may obtain technical or program assistance from the Minnesota Department of Health and through a health care home learning collaborative to assist the provider to regain certification. The provider also may choose to provisionally reinstate their certification as outlined in subpart 7.

Subp. 3.Surrender.

A health care home that surrenders the health care home certification must provide the commissioner and the health care home patients with written notice. After the written notice is provided, a provider that has surrendered health care home certification is no longer certified as a health care home.

Subp. 4.Reinstatement of surrendered certification.

A provider whose certification as a health care home has been surrendered may apply for reinstatement. Health care home certification must be reinstated upon receipt of the application and will be held in a provisional status until the health care home's recertification. The provider may choose to complete this recertification at any time within the recertification cycle to have their provisional status removed.

Subp. 5.Recognition of other certification programs or accrediting bodies.

The commissioner shall grant health care home certification to providers who have achieved certification or accreditation from other state or national bodies that is consistent with the certification standards in part 4764.0040.

Subp. 6.Provisional certification.

Clinics that are experiencing barriers or challenges to certification at the foundational level may request provisional certification. During the time of provisional certification, that must not last longer than three years, the provider must work with the Department of Health to develop an action plan outlining a modified or "stepped" certification process. Upon completion of the modified or stepped certification process, the provisional status will be removed. The provider may obtain technical or program assistance from the Department of Health and through a health care home learning collaborative to assist the provider in gaining certification.

Subp. 7.Provisional recertification.

Clinics that are experiencing barriers or challenges to recertification may request provisional recertification. During the time of provisional recertification that must not last longer than three years, the provider must work with the Department of Health to develop an action plan outlining a modified or "stepped" recertification process. Upon completion of the modified or stepped recertification process, the provisional status shall be removed. The provider may obtain technical or program assistance from the Department of Health and through a health care home learning collaborative to assist the provider in gaining recertification.
