Yikes, January? How awful. We received the initial certification 2 years ago. It was a process but certainly not 6+ months. Have you spoken with someone in the Dept of Health Care Finance. This person is a little tough to track down but very helpful once we made contact. Perhaps it's worth making the trek to the office to find out what's going on.
