Introduced by: R. Edward Houck | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY:
Certificates of public need. Authorizes only acceptance and approval by the Commissioner of Health of applications for certificates of public need for continuing care retirement community nursing home bed projects for 60 or fewer beds. This bill also directs the Joint Commission on Health Care, in conjunction with the Commissioner of Health or his designee and the Commissioner of Insurance or his designee, to study the management of applications for nursing facility projects in continuing care retirement communities under the certificate of public need law and regulations. The study shall include (i) whether such projects should be included or exempted from the Request for Applications (RFA) process; (ii) the different forms of such contracts and the effect of the contracts on the utilization of nursing facility beds in continuing care retirement communities; (iii) the impact of increases in nursing facility beds in continuing care retirement communities, if any, on the occupancy rates and charges of existing nursing homes and certified nursing facilities in the Commonwealth; (iv) the impact, if any, of nursing facility beds in continuing care retirement communities on Virginia Medicaid expenditures; and (v) the appropriateness of the present registration law and the need for any modifications to such law, particularly in view of the changing configurations in the continuing care market. The Commission shall report its preliminary findings by December 1, 1997, and complete its work in time to report to the 1998 Session of the General Assembly. This bill has an emergency provision and shall be in force from its passage. This act shall expire on July 1, 1998.
