Chapter IV license fee revisions – Request for Comment

House Bill 12-1294 enacted statutory changes that require CDPHE to deem health facilities that are currently accredited by an accrediting organization recognized by the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) as satisfying the requirements for renewal of a state health facility license. The legislation directed the Department to provide an appropriate credit or reduced fee to a health facility that achieves state license renewal through deemed status. The Division is proposing amendments to Chapter IV that implement this legislation for General Hospitals.

Please submit any comments on the draft rule changes by Wednesday, April 30, 2014. You may review the draft rule changes at: http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/CDPHE-HF/CBON/1251590617780
