(a) Within thirty (30) days after a facility is notified of an action or determination it wishes to challenge, such facility shall request in writing that the director review such determination. The request shall be signed by the licensed administrator of the facility, shall identify the challenged determination and the date thereof, and shall state as specifically as practicable the grounds for its contention that the determination was erroneous. Copies of any documentation on which such facility intends to rely to support its position shall be included with the request.
(b) After receiving a request meeting the above criteria, the director will contact the facility to schedule a conference for the earliest mutually convenient time. The conference shall be scheduled for no later than thirty (30) days after a properly-completed request is received, unless both parties agree in writing to a specified later date.
(c) The facility and the director shall attend the conference. In addition, representatives selected by the facility may attend and participate. The facility shall bring to the conference, or provide to the director in advance of the conference, any documentation on which the facility intends to rely to support its contentions. The parties shall clarify and attempt to resolve the issues at the conference. If additional documentation is needed to resolve the issues, a second session of the conference shall be scheduled for not later than thirty (30) days after the initial session, unless both parties agree in writing to a specific later date.
(d) A written decision by the director will be furnished to the facility within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the conference.
