N.M. Code R. § 7.20.12.13 – License Renewal

A. The licensee submits a renewal application on the forms obtained from the LCA, along with the required fee, within 60 days prior to the expiration of the current license.
B. Upon receipt of the renewal application and required fee, and prior to the expiration of the current license, the LCA conducts an on-site survey and issues a new license effective the day following the date of expiration of the current license if the facility is in substantial compliance with these regulations.
C. NMSA 1978 24-l-5 (a) (1997) or as amended, provides that no health facility is operated without a license. If a licensee fails to submit a renewal application with the required fee and the current license lapses, the facility ceases operations until it obtains a new license through the initial licensure procedures.
D. If the licensee submits the required renewal application and the LCA does not survey a facility by the expiration date of the current license, the current license continues in effect until the LCA conducts a renewal survey and issues a new license.
