Michigan Certificate of Need

Spacious hospital room with several empty beds and medical equipment, emphasizing healthcare and hygiene.

At Mooradian Law, we specialize in guiding healthcare providers through the complexities of Michigan’s certificate of need process, ensuring compliance, and facilitating smooth operations.

What is a Certificate of Need?

A certificate of need is a regulatory measure designed to control healthcare facility expansion and ensure that new services or facilities are necessary for the community. This process helps prevent the overbuilding of healthcare facilities, which can lead to increased healthcare costs and inefficient use of resources.

Applicable entities include those providing the following services:

  • Cardiac Catheterization
  • Computer Tomography (CT) Scanners
  • Hospital Beds
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
  • Megavoltage Radiation Therapy (MRT)
  • Nursing Home/Hospital Long-Term Care Unit Beds (NH/HLTCU)
  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scanners
  • Psychiatric Beds: Acute Inpatient
  • Surgical Services
  • Urinary Lithotripters

A certificate of need is generally needed for the acquisition of a licensed health facility; construction, renovation, or expansion of certain new or existing health facilities; increasing the number of beds in certain facilities; moving a health facility, beds or a covered service; adding services such as MRI, CT or PET scanners;  or making capital expenditures in excess of MDHHS’s annual capital expenditure threshhold.
