Okla. Admin. Code § 450:1-9-6.1 - Expanding certification of facilities and programs to additional geographical areas

(a) After initial certification, a facility or program may request to add additional service locations within the state. A Community Mental Health Center may only request to add additional Community Mental Health Center locations within its service area established by ODMHSAS in accordance with 43A O.S. § 3-302 (3).

(b) Such additional service locations do not require a Permit for Temporary Operations for certification, provided that the organization has an existing certification(s) in good standing for the chapter(s) which cover the scope of services in the additional service locations. The existing certification(s) must not be a Permit for Temporary Operations.

(c) If the additional service locations will provide services not covered by the organization's existing certifications, the organization must first obtain a Permit for Temporary Operations for the applicable services.

(d) Approval for additional service locations specified in (b) above may be granted by the Commissioner or designee upon submission of the following required documentation to ODMHSAS:

(1) The facility must notify ODMHSAS in writing of the plan to expand service locations on a form and in a manner prescribed by ODMHSAS.

(2) The required written documentation and supporting evidence includes, but is not limited to:

(A) fire & safety inspection;

(B) facility policies and procedures;

(C) zoning compliance; and

(D) evidence of compliance with Title 43A O.S. § 3-417.1, if applicable.

(e) At the time of the next review of the facility's main office certification, additional service locations may be reviewed on a schedule separate and apart from the certification schedule of the main office.
