SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Medical care facilities certificate of public need. Removes "cancer care centers" from the requirement to obtain a certificate prior to construction of the facility, purchase of major medical equipment, or introduction of new covered services. "Cancer care center" is defined as any specialized center or clinic or portion of a physician's office developed for the provision of outpatient chemotherapy, radiation, and diagnostic radiology services that does not administer general anesthesia in connection with such services. This exemption is conditioned on the provision of care to patients regardless of ability to pay and on reporting on indigent care to the Department of Medical Assistance Services.
