Notes of Decisions

   Petitioner must exhaust all administrative remedies under this section or the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § §  745.1—745.15) before an action in mandamus can be entertained. Matesic v. Maleski, 624 A.2d 776 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1993).
   Where Department of Public Welfare had created confusion regarding whether or not Department of Health approval was required for certain Medical Assistance Program health-care providers’ facilities, and where DPW had sua sponte waived the approval requirement for a short period of time, DPW abused its discretion in refusing to extend the waiver to encompass the full period of time necessary for the providers to obtain DOH approval. Eye and Ear Hospital v. Department of Public Welfare, 514 A.2d 976 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1986).
