The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) is required by MCL 333.20155 to make at least one visit to each licensed Non-Long Term Care provider every three years to evaluate licensure.
LARA may waive this required visit if the provider requests a waiver and presents evidence of accreditation from an accrediting body. The department will perform a review of any documentation submitted, rather than an on-site visit.
These waivers are offered each year, but not every facility is eligible due to the three-year survey cycle or if a waiver has already recently been granted.
The MHA encourages members to review eligibility and reference additional information on the waivers. Waiver requests must be submitted by Oct. 31, 2024.
Members with questions are encouraged to email LARA’s Non-Long-Term Care State Licensing Section.
