OPPOSE: HB1552 – Certificate of Public Need Exemption for Critical Hospitals
Status: This bill was voted on and passed out of the House Health Subcommittee and is now on the agenda of the full House Health and Human Services Committee on TODAY, Thursday 1/23 in House Committee Room C-206.
This bill would further entrench Virginia in the problems caused by the Certificate of Public Need program. It would allow certain hospitals, defined as critical access hospitals, to receive an exemption from COPN. This interference in the market place would cause inequity and continue to allow hospitals to choose winners and losers in the market of medical services.
