If the Department rejects a proposed corrective action plan, the Department shall notify the provider in writing of the reasons for rejection and require the provider to submit an amended corrective action plan addressing the deficiency or deficiencies within five business days of receipt of the Department’s notice rejecting the corrective action plan.

(c) The provider is responsible for ensuring that the corrective action plan is fully implemented within the timeframes designated in the corrective action plan, which includes documenting in writing all action taken to correct a violation.
