Overview

RULE:

59C-1.032	Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization and Angioplasty Institutional Health Services
59C-1.033	Pediatric Open Heart Surgery Program

PURPOSE:

The Agency is proposing to amend 59C-1.032 and 59C-1.033 to remove language regarding adult services, updates definitions and adds the collection of utilization reports. The amendments will also incorporate materials used to determine need for new pediatric services.

SUBJECT:

The proposed amendments to these rules remove all references to adult open heart surgery programs, as these programs no longer require a certificate of need (CON) to be established, as well as removing travel standard language, need determination and other components of the adult program's CON criteria. The rule updates the definition of a pediatric patient, adds the collection of utilization reports and incorporates Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Group coding. It also incorporates materials used to determine need for a new pediatric cardiac catheterization program and pediatric open heart surgery program.
