If discrepancies are found to exist during the preenrollment period, the department may conduct additional inspections prior to enrollment. Failure of a provider to remediate discrepancies as prescribed by the director may result in denial of the application for enrollment. The department may deactivate all of the provider’s business addresses if the department determines that the discrepancies are material to the provider’s continued enrollment and the provider’s compliance with program requirements at the additional business addresses.

(Amended by Stats. 2015, Ch. 271, Sec. 7. (SB 299) Effective September 4, 2015.)
