in the plan based on required rules and required services for certification,
DMH shall give the agency provider a six (6) month probationary period to bring
practices and services up to the established rules and required services.
Within 90 business days of being placed in probationary status for Annual
Operational Plan deficiencies, the provider must submit to DMH a sustainability
plan, signed by the agency's governing board/commission, which must include
policies to address any deficiencies noted by DMH.

certification of the agency provider. The agency provider may then be
ineligible for state funds from DOM reimbursement or other funding sources for
those services.
