25 Tex. Admin. Code § 135.64 - Notice
(a) An ambulatory surgical center (ASC) is
deemed to have received any Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC)
correspondence on the date of receipt, or three business days after mailing,
whichever is earlier.
(b) When HHSC
finds deficiencies:
(1) HHSC provides the ASC
with a written Statement of Deficiencies (SOD) within 10 business days after
the exit conference via U.S. Postal Service or electronic mail.
(2) Within 10 calendar days after the
facility's receipt of the SOD, the ASC shall return to HHSC a written Plan of
Correction (POC) that addresses each cited deficiency, including timeframes for
corrections, together with any additional evidence of compliance.
(A) HHSC determines if a POC and proposed
timeframes are acceptable, and, if accepted, notifies the ASC in
writing.
(B) If HHSC does not
accept the POC, HHSC notifies the ASC in writing and requests the ASC submit a
modified POC and any additional evidence of compliance no later than 10
business days after HHSC notifies the ASC in writing.
(C) The ASC shall correct the identified
deficiencies and submit to HHSC evidence verifying implementation of corrective
action within the timeframes set forth in the POC, or as otherwise specified by
HHSC.
(3) Regardless of
an ASC's compliance with this subsection or HHSC's acceptance of an ASC's POC,
HHSC may, at any time, propose to take enforcement action as appropriate under
this chapter.
