Informal Dispute Resolution

If the facility chooses to refute violations, it can request an Informal Dispute Resolution (IDR).  A refutation submitted on the statement of  licensing violations is not an acceptable PoC. The facility is still required to submit an acceptable PoC.

 

If the facility is contesting violations and is considering whether to delay sending in the PoC until the dispute is resolved, the facility is taking a risk because the enforcement process will continue even without an acceptable PoC.
