This regulation requires providers that receive a provisional or one-year certificate, or have their temporary operating authority extended, to submit a Plan of Action to the applicable Alabama DMH Division/Office within 30 days of receiving a Site Visit Report. The plan must project correction of Life-Safety deficiencies within 30 days and other standard deficiencies within 60 days, with shorter timelines possible when health or safety risks are present. Providers facing decertification or revocation of temporary operating authority must also submit a Plan of Action ensuring the health and safety of persons served during the pendency of that action.
