Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 216B et seq. – Kentucky
Status: EnactedLink: http://www.lrc.ky.gov/Statutes/chapter.aspx?id=38238
Prohibits health care providers from acquiring, replacing, or adding to their facilities and equipment, except in specified circumstances, without the prior approval of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services through the state’s Certificate of Need process. A Certificate of Need regime aims to reduce healthcare overheard by reducing unnecessary or duplicative services, but can be anticompetitive by increasing regulatory barriers for new entrants.
