Section 16.04.17.100 - TYPES OF CERTIFICATES ISSUEDThe Department issues certificates that are in effect for a period of no longer than three (3) years. The types of certificates issued are as follow:
01.Initial Certificate. When the Department determines that all application requirements have been met, an initial certificate is issued for a period of up to six (6) months from the initiation of services. The Department will survey the agency prior to the certificate expiration date to ensure the agency's ongoing capability to provide services and is in substantial compliance with these rules. When the agency is determined to be in substantial compliance, a one (1) year certificate will be granted.02.One-Year Certificate. A one (1) year certificate is issued by the Department when it determines the agency is in substantial compliance with these rules, following an initial or provisional certificate, or when there may be areas of deficient practice which would impact the agency's ability to provide adequate care. An agency is prohibited from receiving consecutive one (1) year certificates.03.Three-Year Certificate. A three (3) year certificate is issued by the Department when it determines the agency requesting certification is in substantial compliance with these rules.04.Provisional Certificate. When an agency is found to be out of substantial compliance with these rules, but does not have deficiencies that jeopardize the health or safety of participants, a provisional certificate may be issued by the Department for up to a six (6) month period. A provisional certificate is issued contingent upon the correction of deficiencies in accordance to a plan developed by the agency and approved by the Department. Before the end of the provisional certification period, the Department will determine whether areas of concern have been corrected and whether the agency is in substantial compliance with these rules. If the Department determines the agency is in compliance, a one (1) year certificate will be issued. If the agency is determined to be out of compliance, the certificate will be revoked.Idaho Admin.
