SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Certain certificate of public need for nursing facility or extended care services. Amends Chapter 912 of the 2000 Acts of Assembly to authorize the Commissioner of Health to accept and approve a request to amend the conditions of certain certificates of public need that were issued pursuant to an exception to the statutory moratorium on nursing home beds that was in effect until 1996. This bill revises the previously amended authority for the issuance of certificates of public need for three continuing care providers located in Loudon County, Williamsburg, and Virginia Beach. This provision authorizes the facilities to request that the Commissioner approve changes in their certificates to allow them to continue to admit private-pay patients who are not contract holders if the facility was established for the care of retired military personnel and their spouses or widows or widowers and the facility's nursing home facility has a contract holder occupancy rate less than 85 percent.
