Providers with repeated CAPs without resolving the deficits on an ongoing basis may result in the revocation of approval status.(9) Providers shall produce requested documentation or background information within five business days or at a later date if agreed to in writing by OOD. Failure to provide the requested materials shall result in a suspension of the provider's status until the materials are provided and reviewed.(10) Providers who do not comply with a CAP, or do not successfully complete their CAP to OOD's satisfaction, may result in the temporary or ongoing suspension of services, or suspension or revocation of approved provider status. OOD shall make its decision considering factors such as past performance history, the pervasiveness of the concern, and the impact on participant safety and public health.(11) OOD will provide technical guidance and support to providers and refer providers to available resources and technical guidance where appropriate.(K) The executive director of OOD may waive any paragraph or paragraphs of this rule, if necessary, to appropriately serve individuals with disabilities.(L) This rule is designed to implement the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, 29 U.S.C. 32, and resulting regulations.
