General

General A. The Division of Medicaid may not execute a provider agreement with an intermediate care facility for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ICF/IID) for services unless the State survey agency or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has certified the ICF/IID as having met all of the participation requirements. The Mississippi State Department of Health (MSDH), Division of Health Facilities Licensure and Certification, pursuant to federal law and regulation, certifies ICF/IIDs for participation in the Medicaid program. B. The Division of Medicaid does not reimburse an ICF/IID prior to the date of certification and execution of a valid Medicaid provider agreement. C. If the Division of Medicaid has adequate documentation showing good cause, it may refuse to execute an agreement, or may cancel an agreement, with a certified ICF/IID. A provider agreement is not valid, even though certified by the State survey agency, if the ICF/IID fails to meet civil rights requirements.
