Rule 1514. (1) The department may deny, limit, suspend, or revoke  a certification for failure to comply with the code,  these  rules,  or applicable provisions of federal law and regulation.

(2)   Except when the department of health and human services has denied, limited, suspended, or revoked certification, the procedures to deny, limit, suspend, or revoke a certification shall be the same as those used to deny, limit, suspend, or revoke a license.

(3)   The department's action to deny, limit, suspend, or  revoke  a certification may be taken in the same proceeding and concurrently with action to deny, limit, suspend, or revoke a license.

(4)   The issuance of a certification shall be  considered  an  action independent of the issuance of a license, and the certification may be reviewed, renewed, denied, limited, suspended, or revoked  for noncompliance with the code or these rules without  initiating  a  similar action with respect to the nursing care facility's license.
