Licensure and Certification
|
|
All ICFs/IID are federally certified. Many are both certified and also licensed by the state. Non-licensed facilities, such as state supported living centers (SSLCs) and community centers, are certified.
|
|
The state of Texas surveys ICFs/IID to ensure the facility is in compliance with the rules and regulations.
|
|
State licensure is based on the Texas Administrative Code (TAC). The ICF/IID licensing standards are located in 26 TAC Chapter 551.
|
|
Federal certification is based on the U. S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and requirements established through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

The State Operations Manual (SOM) Appendix J contains information on certification requiremets for ICF/IID programs and the survey process. |
