How long does a program have to submit a plan of correction after being notified?

A program has 30 days to submit a plan of correction after being notified. This timeframe is typically established to ensure that programs address any deficiencies in a timely manner, thereby promoting compliance with regulatory standards. The 30-day period allows for adequate assessment and reflection on the necessary adjustments to improve operations or correct any issues that have been identified. Timely submission of a plan of correction is essential to maintaining the integrity of programs and to ensure they continue to meet the required criteria for safe and effective operation.
