SECTION 263.108. Reconsideration of LON Assignment

(a) If a program provider disagrees with an LON assignment, the program provider may request that HHSC reconsider the assignment.

(b) The program provider may receive reconsideration only if the program provider submitted documentation supporting the recommended LON as required by §263.107(c) of this subchapter (relating to HHSC Review of LON).

(c) To request reconsideration of an LON assignment, the program provider must submit a written request for reconsideration to HHSC within 10 calendar days after receipt of the notification from HHSC that the recommended LON was denied. A program provider may send HHSC documentation, in addition to that required by §263.107(c) of this subchapter, to support the request for reconsideration of an LON assignment.

(d) Within 21 calendar days after receipt of a request for reconsideration, HHSC electronically approves the recommended LON or sends written notification that the recommended LON has been denied to the program provider and the service coordinator. A written notification that the recommended LON has been denied gives the program provider the right to request an administrative hearing in accordance §263.802 of this chapter (relating to Program Provider's Right to Administrative Hearing).
