Provisional licenses issued to providers of behavioral health and developmental services; notice requirement; waiver of appeal right by consent agreement. Requires the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to direct any provider who is issued a provisional license to review all pertinent state and federal regulations and other contractual agents with payor sources to determine any limitations that may be placed on such provider by any other agency of the Commonwealth, including restrictions on reimbursement that may be imposed by the Department of Medical Assistance Services. The bill requires that a consent agreement signed by such provider waiving his right to appeal a provisional license issuance decision shall direct the provider to review all pertinent state and federal regulations and contractual agents to determine any restrictions on reimbursement that may be imposed by other state agencies or payor sources and that a copy of the signed consent agreement be provided to the Department of Medical Assistance Services. The bill requires the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services and the Department of Medical Assistance Services to develop a joint agency protocol that requires the Department of Medical Assistance Services to collaborate and consult with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services prior to imposing limitations on a provider that could lead to restrictions on reimbursement.
