  • A.      The overall time-frame described in A.R.S. § 41-1072 for a primary care area boundary change request under R9-24- 204(C) is 90 days.

    1.        A person requesting a boundary change and the Depart- ment may agree in writing to extend the substantive review time-frame and the overall time-frame.

    2.        An extension of the substantive review time-frame and the overall time-frame may not exceed 25 percent of the overall time-frame.

    B.       The administrative completeness review time-frame described in A.R.S. § 41-1072 for a primary care area boundary change request under R9-24-204(C) is 30 days and begins on the date the Department receives a boundary change request.

    1.        Within the administrative completeness review time- frame, the Department shall mail a notice of administra- tive completeness or a notice of deficiencies to the person requesting a boundary change.

    a.         A notice of deficiencies shall list each deficiency and the information or documents needed to com- plete the boundary change request.

    b.        A notice of deficiencies suspends the administrative completeness review time-frame and the overall time-frame from the date the Department mails the notice until the date the Department receives the missing information or documents.

    c.         If the person requesting a boundary change does not submit to the Department all the information and documents listed in the notice of deficiencies within

    60 days  after the  date the  Department mails the notice of deficiencies, the Department considers the boundary change request withdrawn.

    2.        If the Department approves a boundary change request during the administrative completeness review time- frame, the Department does not issue a separate written notice of administrative completeness.

    C.      The substantive review time-frame described in A.R.S. § 41- 1072 for a primary care area boundary change request under R9-24-204(C) is 60 days and begins on the date the Depart- ment mails the notice of administrative completeness.

    1.        Within the substantive review time-frame, the Depart- ment shall mail written notification of approval or denial of the boundary change request to the person requesting a boundary change.

    2.        During the substantive review time-frame:

    a.         The Department may make one comprehensive writ- ten request for additional information; and

    b.        If the Department and the person requesting a boundary change agree in writing to allow one or more supplemental requests for information, the Department may make the number of supplemental requests for information agreed to.

    3.        A comprehensive written request for additional informa- tion or a supplemental request for information suspends the substantive review time-frame and the overall time- frame from the date the Department mails the request until the date the Department receives all the information and documents requested.

    4.        If the person requesting a boundary change does not sub- mit to the Department all the information and documents listed in a comprehensive written request for additional information or a supplemental request for information within 60 days after the date the Department mails the request, the Department shall deny the boundary change request.

    D.      The Department shall approve a primary care area boundary change request under R9-24-204(C) unless:

    1.        The requested boundaries do not meet the requirements in R9-24-204(A),

    2.        The considerations required in R9-24-204(B) support the current boundaries and outweigh the information and documents submitted with the boundary change request, or

    3.        The person requesting the boundary change does not sub- mit information and documents as stated in subsection (B)(1)(c) or subsection (C)(4).
