Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 22, § 97241 - Extensions of Time to File Reports

(a) Extensions are available to reporting facilities that are unable to complete the submission of reports by the due date prescribed in Section 97211.

(1) Requests for extension shall be filed on or before the required due date of the report by using the extension request screen available through the Department's online submission system or by using the Patient Data Reporting Extension Request form (HCAI-OIS-770 Rev. August 2023). Notices regarding the use of extension days, and new due dates, as well as notices of approval and rejection, will be e-mailed to the primary contact and Facility Administrator e-mail addresses provided by the facility, and other users as requested by the facility.

(2) The Department shall respond within 5 days of receipt of the request by either granting what is determined to be a reasonable extension or disapproving the request. The Department shall not grant extensions that exceed the maximum number of days available for the report period for all extensions. If a reporting facility submits the report prior to the due date of an extension, those days not used will be applied to the number of remaining extension days. A reporting facility that wishes to contest any decision of the Department shall have the right to appeal, pursuant to Section 97052.

(b) A maximum of 14 extension days will be allowed for all extensions and resubmittals of reports with discharges or encounters occurring on or after January 1, 2005.

(c) If a report is rejected on, or within 7 days before, or at any time after, any due date established by Subsections (c), or (d), of Section 97211, the Department shall grant, if available, an extension of 7 days. If less than 7 days are available all available extension days will be granted.

(d) If the Department determines that the Department's online submission system was unavailable for data submission for one or more periods of 4 or more continuous supported hours during the 4 State working days before a due date established pursuant to Section 97211, the Department shall extend the due date by 7 days.
