Access

Access A. Representatives of DMH, displaying proper identification, have the right to enter upon or into the premises of any agency provider, service location, or facility it certifies at all reasonable times. The agency provider must comply with all reasonable requests to obtain information and to review individual cases, personnel and financial records, and any other pertinent information. Failure to comply with legitimate requests may result in certification probation, suspension, termination and/or discontinuation of efforts to obtain initial certification. B. DMH personnel and fiscal personnel have authority to interview employees and people receiving services (if appropriate as determined by DMH) concerning matters regarding programmatic and fiscal compliance, including follow-up on matters reported to DMH. Failure to comply with requests for such interviews will result in termination of the audit/review and possible discontinuance of funding and DMH certification. C. DMH-certified providers which receive funds from/through DMH (unless a DMH- operated provider) must submit to the Division of Audit/Grants, on a schedule as determined by the Division, a current Business Associate Agreement (BAA), if not already on file with DMH through grant submission processes.
