Welcome to the Administration of Licensing & Certification page. Licensing & Certification resides in the Division of Medicaid. It is charged with determining whether health care providers are in compliance with applicable statutes and rules governing their license, certificate, and/or credentialed status.
These pages offer information on overviews, application process, regulatory reguirements, best practices, educational resources, and links relating to specific groups of health care providers/suppliers. The information also serves as a means for communicating changes related to the healthcare community. In most cases, the information centers on operation and management of a facility/agency rather than on a person. There are multiple types of providers with two primary groups:
State & Federal Programs (State Licensed and/or Federally Certified Providers)
- includes: ambulatory surgery centers, end stage renal disease centers, home health agencies, hospice agencies, hospitals, intermediate care facilities for persons with mental retardation, outpatient physical therapy/outpatient speech pathology, and rural health clinics. Certification for this provider group refers to Certification by the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS).
State-Only Programs (State Licensed or Certified Providers)
- which includes: certified family homes, developmental disabilities agencies/Residential Habilitation, and residential care or assisted living facilities. Certification in this instance refers to certification by the state to operate a faciltiy/agency.
