 Certificate of Need Resource Center
A Certificate of Need is approval by the Director of the Ohio Department of Health to conduct certain activities involving long-term care facilities and beds. The following activities require a Certificate of Need:
- Establishment of a new long-term care facility
- Replacement of an existing long-term care facility
- Renovation of a long-term care facility costing $2 million or more. (New additions are not considered to be renovation)
- Increase in long-term care bed capacity
- Relocation of long-term care beds from one site to another
- Relocation of beds within the same county
- Relocation of not more than 30 licensed nursing home beds from an existing nursing home to another existing nursing home located in a contiguous county
- Certain changes to a previously approved certificate of need
- Expenditure of more than 110% of the certificate of need approved amount
An application for Certificate of Need approval for these activities may be filed with the Ohio Department of Health at any time. The typical Certificate of Need review process for these activities generally takes up to six months, notwithstanding an objection.
In addition, the Director may accept for review from July 1, 2010 through July 30, 2010, Certificate of Need applications under a comparative review process to relocate beds from a county with too many beds to a county with too few beds pursuant to bed need formula results. The bed need map of Ohio identifies those counties that may participate in bed need formula relocations and the number of beds that may be approved for relocation. The comparative review process for applications filed pursuant to the bed need formula runs from July 1, 2010 through May 2, 2011, notwithstanding an objection.
