Health facilities: certificate of need; certificate of need requirements for certain outpatient imaging centers; modify. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 22224c.

This bill modifies Michigan's public health code to streamline the approval process for certain outpatient imaging centers. It allows facilities that are not owned by hospitals and do not charge facility fees to file a simple letter of intent instead of going through the traditional certificate of need process. This change applies specifically to the addition or expansion of positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computerized tomography scanners. Once the department verifies the facility meets these criteria, it must provide written approval within 30 days, enabling the center to proceed with its plans.
