Health Care - As enacted, makes various changes to health-related laws, including, but not limited to, requiring the commissioner of health to prescribe conditions under which processed and verified claims data found on the UB-92 form are made available to the public; revising law relative to critical access hospitals, and revising law relative to certificates of need. - Amends TCA Title 33; Title 63 and Title 68.
SB 2431 removes the requirement for a license from Tennessee's health facilities commission for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) services that are not used for diagnostic purposes. This change directly affects healthcare facilities offering these imaging services for non-diagnostic uses, such as research or patient comfort, rather than medical diagnosis. The bill amends Tennessee Code to exclude non-diagnostic MRI and PET from licensing requirements under health facility regulations. The exemption will take effect on July 1, 2026.
