SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Certificate of public need; regulations authorizing a single application for all proposed cancer care center services. Requires the Board of Health to promulgate regulations to establish, notwithstanding the definitions of "medical care facility" and "project" included in § 32.1-102.1, a procedure whereby a comprehensive cancer center may file a single application for all covered services to be offered by the facility. Such application may cover, but need not be limited to, computed tomographic (CT) scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, nuclear medicine imagining, positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning or other diagnostic imaging or radiology services, and radiation therapy.
