How often may a facility submit an application for conversion of beds to or from an IMD?

1. No more than 2 times a year

2. Once a year only

3. Three times a year

4. Unlimited times

The correct answer is: No more than 2 times a year

A facility may submit an application for conversion of beds to or from an Institution for Mental Disease (IMD) no more than 2 times a year. This limitation helps ensure that the process of converting beds is carefully regulated and controlled, allowing for adequate oversight and management of such changes within the facility. Option B is incorrect as facilities are allowed to apply more frequently than once a year. Option C is also incorrect as the limit is less than three times a year. Option D is incorrect as there is a specific limit on the number of times a facility can submit such applications in a year.
