Section 67:61:02:06 - Provisional accreditation and comprehensive survey

The department may grant provisional accreditation to an agency seeking accreditation for the first time or to an agency previously accredited to regain accreditation. A provisional accreditation certificate may only be issued upon submission of a completed application and a preliminary comprehensive survey by the department to determine compliance with this article and the requirements of SDCL chapter 34-20 A.

A provisional accreditation expires after six months and may not be extended except with the approval of the department to accommodate department scheduling delays not to exceed an additional three months. A follow-up, comprehensive survey shall be conducted prior to the expiration of the provisional accreditation to determine if the requirements of SDCL chapter 34-20 A and this article have been met. At that time, the department shall:

(1) Grant a one-year accreditation certificate for a new agency;

(2) Grant accreditation up to the end date of the original certification for a currently accredited agency; or

(3) Deny accreditation.
