(b) When HHSC finds deficiencies:
(1) HHSC provides the facility with a written Statement of Deficiencies (SOD) within 10 business days after the exit conference via U.S. Postal Service or electronic mail.
(2) Within 10 calendar days after the facility's receipt of the SOD, the facility shall return to HHSC a written Plan of Correction (POC) that addresses each cited deficiency, including timeframes for corrections, together with any additional evidence of compliance.
(3) Regardless of the facility's compliance with this subsection or HHSC's acceptance of a facility's POC, HHSC may, at any time, propose to take enforcement action as appropriate under this chapter.
