With or without giving notice, the department may enter the premises and inspect any applicant or licensee when a complaint is filed with the department against the applicant or licensee or when the department otherwise deems inspection in the interest of service recipients. Inspection may include review of physical plant, program, activities, and applicant or licensee records.   The department may charge a fee for any service or facility inspection in an amount not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00).   If the department finds noncompliance with life safety or food service standards relating to non-life threatening issues, the department shall refer the findings to the state or local agency responsible for life safety or food service inspection for re-inspection or review in accordance with life safety or food service standards. The department will accept the state or local agency's determination.   The department shall, to the extent practicable, coordinate life safety inspections to avoid duplication without good cause in the same calendar year by other government agencies that apply substantially the same standards.   The department shall include in its annual inspection of each hospital licensed under this title a determination of the hospital's compliance with the reporting requirements of § 33-3-117. The hospital must document its compliance with a record of its communication with local law enforcement with respect to the commitments. A hospital's failure to comply with the reporting requirements shall subject the hospital to civil penalties or other action against the hospital's license under § 33-2-407.

Department to Investigate Reports of Abuse, Dereliction or Deficiency in Operation of Facility — Private Cause of Action — Departmental Remedies

  The department shall investigate reports of serious abuse, dereliction or deficiency in the operation of a licensed service or facility.    A person making any report or investigation pursuant to this part, including representatives of the department in the reasonable performance of their duties and within the scope of their authority, shall be presumed to be acting in good faith and shall be immune from any liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed.   Any such person shall have the same immunity with respect to participation in any judicial proceeding resulting from the report or investigation.   Any person making a report under this part shall have a civil cause of action for appropriate compensatory and punitive damages against any person who causes a detrimental change in the employment status of the reporting party by reason of the report.      The commissioner shall suspend or revoke the license of any service or facility if serious abuse, dereliction or deficiency is found and not corrected in a reasonable time.   The commissioner, in the commissioner's discretion, may suspend enrollment in a service or facility pending resolution of the investigation or of proceedings to suspend, revoke, or deny the license, or until the service or facility corrects any serious abuse, dereliction, or deficiency found in the course of the investigation. The commissioner may suspend enrollment in a licensed service or facility based on probable cause to believe that serious abuse, dereliction, or deficiency in the operation of the licensed service or facility has occurred or would occur without suspension of enrollment. Suspension of enrollment shall not exceed a period of one hundred twenty (120) days except that, in the discretion of the commissioner, the period may be extended for an additional period not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days. Nothing in this part takes away from the right of the department to issue an order of summary suspension of the license pursuant to § 4-5-320(c) and (d).

Differentiation Between Licensed Physicians Based on Maintenance of Certification

  For purposes of this section:  “Maintenance of certification” means any process requiring periodic recertification examinations or other activities to maintain specialty medical board certification; and   “Organized medical staff” means an organized body composed of individuals appointed by a facility's governing board that operates under bylaws approved by the governing body and is responsible for the quality of medical care provided to patients by the facility.     Except as otherwise provided by this section, facilities licensed under this title may only differentiate between licensed physicians based on a physician's maintenance of certification in medical staff privileging and credentialing when authorized through the following process:  The voting members of the facility's organized medical staff vote to adopt the differentiation; and   The facility's governing body reviews and approves the action of the medical staff.     An authorization described by subsection (b) may:  Establish terms applicable to the facility's differentiation, including:  Appropriate grandfathering provisions; and   Limiting the differentiation to certain medical specialties; and     Be rescinded at any time when:  The voting members of the facility's organized medical staff vote to rescind the differentiating action; and   The facility's governing body reviews and approves the rescinding action of the organized medical staff.       Nothing in this section restricts a facility's ability to differentiate between physicians in medical staff privileging and credentialing based on a physician's maintenance of certification when:  The facility's designation under law or certification or accreditation by a national certifying or accrediting organization is contingent on the facility requiring a specific maintenance of certification by physicians seeking staff privileges or credentialing at the facility; and   The differentiation is limited to those physicians whose maintenance of certification is required for the facility's designation, certification, or accreditation as described by subdivision (d)(1).     Nothing in this section requires a facility's organized medical staff or governing body to reconsider or vote to reconsider maintenance of certification differentiation or requirements made prior to July 1, 2018.

Prohibited Marketing Practices

  The general assembly recognizes that consumers of substance abuse treatment have disabling conditions and that consumers and their families are vulnerable and at risk of being easily victimized by fraudulent marketing practices that adversely impact the delivery of health care. To protect the health, safety, and welfare of this vulnerable population, a service provider of alcohol and drug services or an operator of an alcohol and drug treatment facility (ADTF) shall not engage in any of the following marketing practices:  Making a materially false or misleading statement or providing materially false or misleading information about the provider's or operator's identity, products, goods, services, or geographical locations in its marketing, advertising materials, or media or on its website;   Including on its website false information or electronic links, coding, or activation that provides false information or that surreptitiously directs the reader to another website;   Soliciting, receiving, or making an attempt to solicit or receive a commission, benefit, rebate, kickback, or bribe, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, or engaging or making an attempt to engage in a split-fee arrangement in return for a referral or an acceptance or acknowledgement of treatment from a service provider of alcohol and drug services or ADTF; or   Entering into a contract with a marketing provider who agrees to generate referrals or leads for the placement of patients with a service provider of alcohol and drug services or in an ADTF through a call center or a web-based presence. This subdivision (a)(4) shall not apply if the service provider of alcohol and drug services or the operator of the ADTF discloses to the prospective patient, so that the patient can make an informed healthcare decision, in clear and concise language and instructions that allow the prospective patient to easily determine whether the marketing provider represents specific service providers or recovery residences that pay a fee to the marketing provider, and the identity of such service providers of alcohol and drug services or ADTF.     In addition to any other punishment authorized by law, a person or entity that knowingly violates this section is subject to suspension or revocation of the person's or entity's license pursuant to § 33-2-407 and the imposition of civil penalties under § 33-2-409.

 Every licensee under this title shall have a clear conflict resolution procedure, including an appeal process, that complies with the department's rules and shall communicate the procedure to each service recipient and family involved in the service. Termination of service or support because a third party payer refuses to continue to fund the service or support is not subject to the conflict resolution procedure. The location where service or support is to be provided is not subject to the conflict resolution procedure unless the location is inaccessible to the service recipient and the service recipient's family, as appropriate. The procedure must include the means to resolve a conflict informally and expeditiously in conformity with the department's rules. A licensee may not cease to provide services and supports to a service recipient with a developmental disability during the pendency of the conflict resolution over the objection of the service recipient.
