The Policy Review Specialist will inform the applicant, through a deficiency letter, of neededrevisions to their application materials citing the specific regulation that is not yet in compliance, with a brief narrative explaining why the regulation has not been met. The applicant makes all required corrections and submits the updated application documents or policies and procedures to the Policy Review Specialist through the DBHDS CONNECT Provider Portal. This process will continue until the Policy Review Specialist determines that the reviewed application materials are in compliance with the Licensing Regulations. Once, the Policy Review Specialist determines the reviewed application materials are in compliance with the Licensing Regulations, they will send the applicant a correspondence through the DBHDS CONNECT Provider Portal notifying the applicant of their assignment to a Licensing Specialist.
Please Note: If the applicant does not provide revisions within 30 days from the date the review letter was sent for priority services and 90 days from the date the review letter was sent for nonpriority services, the application will be closed.
