660.075. Intermediate care facility for mentally retarded--certificate of authorization needed for provider agreement--exception--certificates not to be issued, when--notice to department, when.

660.075. 1. The division of medical services shall not issue a provider agreement to an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded provider after May 29, 1991, unless and until the department of mental health transmits a certification of authorization to provide services, provided, however, a profit or not-for-profit provider may operate a single home of six beds or less without issuance of a certificate to the division of medical services. Such certification shall be provider specific and shall contain the number of beds authorized.

2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, any provider intending to operate an intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded in excess of those beds in existence on May 29, 1991, shall give notice to the department of mental health of any intent to do so between July first and October first of the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which they intend to operate such facility.

3. In addition to other good cause as established by administrative rules promulgated by the director of the department of mental health, such intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded operations as may be accommodated within the home and community-based waiver for the developmentally disabled shall be refused certificates of authorization by the department of mental health. The division of medical services shall refuse intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded provider agreements to providers to whom the department of mental health has refused certificates of authorization.
