Kan. Admin. Regs. § 30-10-201 - Intermediate care facilities for mentally retarded

(a) Change of provider.

(1) The current provider or prospective provider shall notify the agency of a proposed change of providers at least 60 days in advance of the closing transaction date. Failure to submit a timely notification shall result in the new provider assuming responsibility for any overpayment made to the previous provider before the transfer. This shall not release the previous provider of responsibility for such overpayment.

(2) Before the dissolution of the business entity, the change of ownership of the business entity, or the sale, exchange or gift of 5% or more of the depreciable assets of the business entity, the agency shall be notified in writing concerning the change at least 60 days before the change. Failure to submit a timely notification shall result in the new provider assuming responsibility for any overpayment made to the previous provider before the transfer. This shall not release the previous provider of responsibility for such overpayment. The secretary may expressly agree in writing to other overpayment recovery terms.

(3) Any partnership that is dissolved shall not require a new provider agreement if at least one member of the original partnership remains as the provider of services. Any addition or substitution to a partnership or any change of provider resulting in a completely new partnership shall require that an application to be a provider of services be submitted to the agency.

(4) If a sole proprietor not incorporated under applicable state law transfers title and property to another party, a change of ownership shall have occurred. An application to be a provider of services shall be submitted to the agency.

(5) Transfer of participating provider corporate stock shall not in itself constitute a change of provider. Similarly, a merger of one or more corporations with the participating provider corporation surviving shall not constitute a change of provider. A consolidation of two or more corporations which creates a new corporate entity shall constitute a change of provider and an application to be a provider of services shall be submitted to the agency.

(6) The change of or a creation of a new lessee, acting as a provider of services, shall constitute a change of provider. An application to be a provider of services shall be submitted to the agency. If the lessee of the facility purchases the facility, the purchase shall not constitute a change in provider.

(b) Each new provider shall be subject to a certification survey by the department of health and environment and, if certified, the period of certification shall be as established by the Kansas department of health and environment. The effective date of this regulation shall be January 30, 1991.
