Medicare prospective payment system for hospitals that requires that an outpatient
health facility operated by the hospital be under the same license as the hospital to
achieve provider-based status, the cabinet shall, at the hospital's request, issue a new
license to a hospital that owns and operates an existing or newly established
outpatient health facility that lists each location operated by the hospital. (2) Any outpatient health facility listed on the hospital's license under subsection (1) of this section shall:
(a) Comply with all applicable licensure regulations that pertain to the type of health services provided; and (b) Prior to the establishment of a health facility, the operation of a health facility, or the provision of health services or the addition of a health service at a
location other than the hospital's main campus, obtain a certificate of need if a
certificate of need would otherwise be required in the absence of subsection
(1) of this section. Licensure of the outpatient health facility or service under
the same license as the hospital pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall
not eliminate the requirements for a certificate of need. Effective: July 14, 2000
