Application Instructions for Initial and Change of Ownership Applications
To receive a health facility certification in California, an applicant must fully complete the required application forms and submit them with all of the identified supporting documents. The Centralized Applications Branch (CAB) will not process incomplete applications.
These instructions assist in preparing a CHMC Initial or CHOW application for certification.
Please read each required application form carefully and:
- āProvide all requested supporting documents
- Retain a copy of the completed application forms and supporting documents ā CAB may contact the applicant and will refer to the information providedā
Review Processā
CAB receives an application packet and assigns an application ID number in the Electronic Licensing Management System. A CAB analyst conducts a preliminary review of the application packet to validate receipt of all required forms and supporting documents.
Application packets missing forms and/or supporting documents are incomplete. CAB will only process complete applications.
Once validation is complete, a CAB analyst conducts a more extensive review to ensure compliance with state and federal requirements.
The CAB analyst completes the review process and approves the application packet, then sends the application packet to the district office to conduct all required surveys.
