The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) has issued an All Facilities Letter reminding healthcare facilities, including nursing homes, of the non-refundable nature of license application fees. According to Title 22 of the California Code of Regulations, application fees will not be refunded if an application is withdrawn or denied by the department. The CDPH has no authority to refund application fees for facility types where relevant statutory and regulatory provisions are silent. Healthcare facilities are responsible for following all applicable laws and should refer to the full text of Title 22 to ensure compliance. The letter serves as a reminder and does not introduce new actions or requirements for healthcare facilities.
