(1) An applicant wishing to apply for a new or renewal license to operate a special inpatient care facility (SICF) shall submit an application on a form prescribed by the Oregon Health Authority (Authority) and pay the applicable nonrefundable hospital fee as specified in ORS 441.020. (2) If an applicant is proposing a new SICF, the applicant shall also submit evidence of plans review approval as required by OAR chapter 333, division 675. (3) An SICF must inform the Authority in writing of any changes in ownership, organizational structure, or other information required on the application form, within 30 days of the change. Failure to notify the Authority may result in denial or revocation of the license. (4) An applicant that has a certificate of accreditation and deemed status for Medicare certification from an accrediting organization approved by the Authority shall provide the certificate to the Authority with its license application, and shall include: (a) All survey and inspection reports; and (b) Written evidence of all corrective actions underway, or completed, in response to recommendations, including all progress reports. (5) No license shall be issued for any SICF for which a certificate of need is required, unless a certificate of need has first been issued under ORS 442.315. (6) The Authority may charge a reduced SICF fee if the Authority determines that charging the standard fee constitutes a significant financial burden. (7) An SICF that fails to submit its license renewal application and fee before December 1 of each year shall be charged a late fee of $1,250.
