Repeals provisions relating to certificates of need

HB 1240 repeals outdated "certificates of need" requirements for healthcare facilities and replaces them with new rules. It requires hospitals and long-term care facilities to mandate identification badges displaying personnel licensure, and mandates managed care organizations to reimburse facilities at Medicare rates for covered services provided to residents. The bill ensures residents in long-term care facilities (including continuing care retirement communities) can access care through their managed care plan without facility-imposed fees or barriers. These changes directly affect hospitals, long-term care facilities, managed care organizations, and residents receiving care in these settings.
