Licensure, Surveys, Plans of Correction, and Appeals

Explains how the Agency keeps its Louisiana home health license current, displays it, cooperates with unannounced surveys and complaint investigations, submits an acceptable plan of correction so that LDH receives it within 10 days, uses the informal dispute resolution process and appeal rights, and avoids the grounds for a provisional license, denial or revocation in LAC 48:I Chapter 91 and R.S. 40:2116.32 and 40:2116.36.

In short

  • We must hold a current Louisiana Department of Health license, displayed at the office.
  • Surveyors can arrive at any time without notice. Welcome them and call the Administrator right away.
  • Answer surveyors truthfully. Never change, back-date or create records for a survey.
  • After a survey, our plan of correction must reach LDH within 10 days.
  • Too many violations or valid complaints in a year can lead to a provisional license.
