How does an agency go about requesting an initial survey?
When an agency is ready for its initial survey, the agency must submit a written notice of readiness to the regional program manager; this must be done at least six months before the expiration date of the initial license. The form can be found on the DADS Web site for HCSSAs at http://www.dads.state.tx.us/providers/HCSSA/index.cfm. Regulations and Statutes: 40 TAC §97.
