Bill overview
This bill changes the requirements for obtaining approval to start, expand, or replace certain outpatient imaging services, like PET scans, MRI scans, and CT scans. Currently, these expansions often require a Certificate of Need. This bill allows facilities to submit a ‘letter of intent’ to the Department of Health and Human Services instead, provided the department acknowledges approval within 30 days. This change aims to streamline the process for expanding these imaging services while still ensuring appropriate access to care.
