§ 5200.48. Waiver of standards.
In instances where the development of specialty psychiatric outpatient clinic services is severely limited by these standards, such as rural clinics or specialty clinics, a waiver may be granted. Waivers may be applied only in areas where the need for these services and the attempts to meet the standards are adequately documented. Waivers are to be considered only in exceptional circumstances and are subject to approval by the Department.
