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 XVIII that implement
this legislation for facilities licensed as Psychiatric Hospitals.
