Dialysis facilities; nursing homes may allow to provide mobile services on site to their patients.

SB 2759 allows licensed nursing homes (institutions for the aged or infirm) to host mobile end-stage renal dialysis services on-site for residents, provided the dialysis provider uses its own staff, maintains appropriate care standards, and doesn’t exceed its certified number of dialysis stations. The bill removes mobile dialysis facilities from Mississippi’s Certificate of Need (CON) law, eliminating the state approval process required for major health care investments. This directly affects nursing homes seeking to provide on-site dialysis and mobile dialysis providers looking to expand services within these facilities. The policy change simplifies regulatory requirements for mobile dialysis operations in nursing homes without altering patient care standards.
