Rule 2701.

(1) As a condition of state funding, a single overall certification is required for each community mental health services program.

(2) The certification process shall include a review of agencies or organizations that are under contract to provide mental health services on behalf of the mental health services program.

(3) The governing body of a community mental health services program shall request certification by submitting a completed application to the department. If the department is already in receipt of information required for application, then submission of that information may be waived by the department. The application shall be submitted in the format specified by the department and shall include all of the following information:

(a) The legal name of the community mental health services program.

(b) The address for legal notice and correspondence.

(c) The governing structure of the community mental health services program.

(d) The current annual budget, including all sources of revenue, of the community mental health services program.

(e) The organizational chart of the community mental health services program.

(f) The name of the executive director of the community mental health services program.

(4) Upon receipt of an application, the department shall determine if the application is complete. The department shall acknowledge receipt of an application. If an application is incomplete, the department shall notify the applicant within 30 days from date of receipt of any corrections or additions needed, may return the materials to the applicant, or both. An incomplete application shall not be regarded as an application for certification. Return of the application materials or failure to take further action to issue a certificate shall not constitute denial of an application for certification.

(5) After the department's acceptance of a complete application, the department shall determine whether the applicant meets certification standards. The certification process may include conducting an on-site review.

(6) Failure of the community mental health services program to comply with the requirements of the certification process shall be grounds for the department to deny, suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew a program's certification.
