AHCA may impose a fine for a class III violation under what condition?

  1. always

  2. if uncorrected after a revisit

  3. if the violation was cited in the previous 6 months

  4. never

The correct answer is: if uncorrected after a revisit

A fine for a class III violation imposed by the AHCA is conditional upon the violation remaining uncorrected after a revisit. Class III violations are considered less severe compared to other classes; however, if a facility fails to rectify the violation during a subsequent inspection, the AHCA can impose financial penalties. This approach is designed to encourage compliance and ensure that facilities are held accountable for maintaining standards. The rationale is that repeated noncompliance, when an opportunity to correct has been given, warrants a fine to incentivize swift action from the facility to adhere to regulations and protect residents' welfare.
