Overview
This bill changes the certificate of need requirements for certain outpatient imaging centers in Michigan. It allows these centers to file a letter of intent with the Department of Health and Human Services instead of needing a full certificate of need for expanding or starting services like positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or computerized tomography scanning. The department will then acknowledge the intent if the services will be provided through an outpatient imaging center. This change is intended to streamline the process for these types of imaging services.
Key provisions
- Allows a letter of intent to be submitted instead of a full certificate of need for specific outpatient imaging services.
- Specifically covers positron emission tomography scanners, fixed or mobile magnetic resonance imagers, and fixed or mobile computerized tomography scanners.
- The Department of Health and Human Services must acknowledge the letter of intent within 30 days.
- Outpatient imaging centers must not be owned or operated by hospitals that also own or operate a facility.
- A ‘facility fee’ is defined as a fee for operating the facility, not the service itself.
Who is affected
- Outpatient imaging centers
- Healthcare providers offering positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computerized tomography services
- The Department of Health and Human Services
