To amend chapter 197, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to accreditation of vascular laboratories.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 197, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 197.675, to read as follows:
197.675. 1. As used in this section, the following terms shall mean:
(1) "Accreditation", the method utilized by the (ICAVL) to evaluate the level of patient care provided by noninvasive vascular laboratories;
(2) "ACR", the American College of Radiology;
(3) "Department", the department of health and senior services;
(4) "ICAVL", the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories;
(5) "Laboratory", any noninvasive vascular laboratory licensed for operation in this state;
(6) "Standards", the measures used by the ICAVL to accredit laboratories;
(7) "Ultrasound program requirements", the measures used by the ACR to accredit laboratories.
2. In addition to any other medical treatment facility licensure requirements, every noninvasive vascular laboratory shall be certified by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Vascular Laboratories (ICAVL) or the American College of Radiology (ACR).
3. By July 1, 2012, each laboratory shall complete the process for accreditation by ICAVL or ACR. Each laboratory shall complete the organization standard in addition to any combination of other standards applicable to the services offered by the laboratory or the ultrasound program requirements of the ACR.
4. By October 1, 2012, each laboratory shall submit documentation to the department confirming accreditation with ICAVL or ACR. Any laboratory that fails to become accredited or loses accreditation with ICAVL or ACR shall not charge, bill, or be compensated for any services provided by such laboratory after such failure to obtain or loss of accreditation.
5. The department may prescribe the form and content of any documents required under this section. The department may promulgate rules to implement the provisions of this section. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional, then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August 28, 2011, shall be invalid and void.
