Health Facility Licensing

Dan advises healthcare facilities, such as assisted living facilities and nursing homes, as they navigate the licensing and change of ownership processes in New Mexico. He assists clients with preparing and submitting letters of intent and application packets to the New Mexico Department of Health, the agency responsible for overseeing the licensing of healthcare facilities. He also advises clients as they move through the subsequent stages of the licensing process.

 Dan has experience working on licensing matters involving facilities that have been placed into receivership. These matters can be particularly sensitive, especially when a healthcare entity’s financial situation runs the risk of jeopardizing quality patient care. Dan has collaborated with healthcare consulting businesses in such matters to help ensure that operations continue under receivership while transfer of ownership takes place.

 To obtain a license in New Mexico (if the healthcare facility will handle drugs), it is also necessary to obtain approval from the Board of Pharmacy. Dan has communicated with the Board of Pharmacy regarding the approval process and helped clients expedite approval of their pharmacy applications, especially under circumstances where it is necessary to promptly process a change of ownership.

 If you have questions about the licensing process in New Mexico, or plan on acquiring an existing healthcare facility, call Dan to discuss the process and obtain the answers to your questions.
