Before moving forward with overhauling the licensing regulations, DBHDS should assess the administrative burden and financial impact on providers, who are already under resource strain. The greatest concern is that DBHDS is proposing regulation changes at the same time DMAS is proposing the BH Redesign. These plans would not be in alignment with each other, creating confusion and inconsistency. If these two proposals move forward separately, the regulations will be overlapping yet unaligned. This a big problem. Please consider the timing.
