Summary
Certificate of public need; exception; critical access hospitals; swing beds. Exempts from the requirement for a certificate of public need hospitals using up to 10 inpatient hospital beds per day as swing beds for the furnishing of services of the type that, if furnished by a nursing home or certified nursing facility, would constitute skilled care services. The bill allows critical access hospitals to calculate the 10-swing-bed per day limitation as an average over the fiscal year of the hospital with certain exceptions. Under current law, critical access hospitals may only use up to 10 percent of beds as swing beds without requiring a certificate of public need. The bill directs the State Commissioner of Health to collect the hospital data pursuant to the provisions of the bill and make it publicly available. The bill has an expiration date of July 1, 2028.
