HB 1302 Certificates of public need.
Introduced by: Kenneth R. Melvin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Certificate of Public Need. Restricts the submission of applications for nursing home bed projects to those applications filed in response to annually published Requests For Applications (RFAs), except for applications for nursing home projects filed by continuing care providers registered with the State Corporation Commission. The RFAs will be jointly developed by the Departments of Health and Medical Assistance Services, based on analyses of nursing home bed needs in the planning districts. Only applications conforming with the geographic and bed need determinations of the specific RFA can be accepted for review. This provision strikes all of the moratorium language and its many exceptions. The Board of Health will promulgate regulations for the design of the RFAs. Although the RFAs will not be processed through the Administrative Process Act, interested parties are provided a procedure for expressing concerns and for receiving answers. The Commissioner of Health will study the need for requiring adult care residences that provide assisted living and intensive assisted living levels of care to be subject to the Commonwealth's Certificate of Public Need regulations and law and will report on October 1, 1996 and, finally, on June 1, 1997. This study will be conducted in cooperation with the Director of the Department of Medical Assistance Services and other affected public and private stakeholders. In addition, the Joint Commission on Health Care is directed to study the COPN requirements and to specifically evaluate the need for requiring ambulatory surgical centers to be subject to COPN requirements. The Commission must report to the 1997 Session of the General Assembly.
