Section 8:33-4.5 - Review for completeness

(a) Only complete applications shall be processed. The Department alone shall make the determination of the completeness status of applications. The Department shall make a decision on the completeness status of an application after the applicant has been given the opportunity to supplement the application within a specified timeframe in response to specific questions by the Department. The Department shall then make a decision on the completeness of the application. The Department shall notify the applicant of its determination. Upon issuing a determination that an application is complete, copies thereof shall be referred by the Department to the State Health Planning Board for review. If an application has been determined to be incomplete, the Department shall notify the applicant in writing citing the specific deficiencies in the application. The filing fee shall not be returned. The applicant may file a new application in the next appropriate cycle with the appropriate information.

(b) An application which is unresponsive to the notice issued by the Commissioner, or inappropriately requests expedited review may be declared not acceptable for processing by the Department, based on the standards contained in the chapter and the applicable service-specific chapter. The Department shall notify the applicant of this decision and the filing fee shall be returned.

(c) Once an application has been submitted to the Department, no subsequent submission of information shall be accepted, unless specifically requested in writing by the Department. Responses to all questions shall be forwarded to the Department for dissemination to the State Health Planning Board.
