Michigan § 333.22107 - Departmental responsibilities; standard surveys; plan of corrections; revisits; letter of compliance.

(1) When preparing to conduct any standard survey, the department shall determine if there is an open survey cycle and make every reasonable effort to confirm that substantial compliance has been achieved by implementing the nursing home's accepted plan of correction before initiating the standard survey while maintaining the federal requirement for a standard survey interval and the state survey average of 12 months.

(2) All abbreviated complaint surveys must be conducted on consecutive days until complete. All form CMS-2567 reports of survey findings must be released to the nursing home within 10 consecutive days after completion of the exit date of the survey.

(3) Departmental notifications of acceptance or rejection of a nursing home's plan of correction must be reviewed and released to the nursing home within 10 consecutive days after the receipt of the plan of correction.

(4) A nursing-home-submitted plan of correction in response to any survey must have a completion date not to exceed 40 days from the exit date of the survey. If a nursing home has not received additional citations before a revisit occurs, the department shall conduct the first revisit not more than 60 days from the exit date of the survey.

(5) A letter of compliance notification to a nursing home must be released to the nursing home within 10 consecutive days after the exit date of all revisits.
