ORDERS:
ORDER OF SETTLEMENT AND DISMISSAL
This matter came before the Administrative Law Division pursuant to the petition by Rope Home
Health Care (Roper) to review the decision by DHEC not to reissue a license containing
Dorchester County in the service area of Roper. A pre-trial conference was conducted during
which the parties agreed to try to resolve the issue of whether Roper is complying with its
Certificate of Need #SC-87-20 and the State Health Plan. After discussion between the parties, it
appears that a settlement has been reached. The Department has re-examined the home health
license and has agreed to reinstate Dorchester County into the service area of Roper. The parties
are in accord with the settlement proposed.
It is therefore,
ORDERED, ADJUDGED and DECREED that the Department shall reinstate Dorchester County
as part of the service area Roper Home Health Care is licensed to serve. Upon reinstatement of
the license with Dorchester County included in the service area this matter is
DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
