§2120.69. Investigations; surveys
A. The department may conduct onsite licensing surveys and inspections, including complaint surveys, to determine that the PACE provider is in compliance with the laws, rules, and regulations applicable to the PACE provider. Further, a PACE provider that has applied for a license or that is licensed pursuant to this Part shall be open at reasonable times for inspection by the department, the state fire marshal, and any other authorized governmental entity.
B. Every applicant or licensee shall keep all records and make all reports as the department shall prescribe, and all necessary records shall be available for inspection by the department or other authorized governmental entity. The department may examine the premises of any PACE provider and may examine and inspect the PACE provider's books, records, documents, and other evidence in any survey or investigation. The PACE provider shall cooperate in any survey or investigation conducted by the department. Failure to cooperate with the survey or investigation may result in action up to and including license revocation.
C. The department may assess a PACE provider a survey or investigation fee, not to exceed one thousand dollars, for any complaint survey or investigation conducted by the department at which deficiencies are substantiated. This survey or inspection fee shall be imposed by the department only after the PACE provider has completed the administrative process that has upheld the deficiencies or the time for filing any administrative process or appeal has expired. The survey or investigation fee shall not exceed the cost of performing the survey or inspection. This fee shall be in addition to any other sanctions.
