Agency licensing and certification — Explicit standards exist for personal services and health care services agencies, including fees, staffing qualifications, training (including dementia training), service agreements, reporting, complaint processes, and penalties.
Enforcement authority — OIG may inspect, subpoena, promulgate adverse actions (denial, revocation, fines), and agencies and staff have legal rights to due process and appeal.
