Modification of a Service License

(A) Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 111C, § 8(a), any service seeking to modify any term of its license shall obtain the approval of the Department prior to making any modification. A service shall request approval to modify on forms provided by the Department. (B) Approval for a license modification shall be required for, but not limited to, the following: (1) When a new certification for an EMS vehicle is issued or when a certification is revoked by the Department or deleted by the service; (2) When a change is made in the level of service; or (3) When a service adds or deletes a place of business from which services are provided. (C) The Department shall not grant approval for a license modification unless it finds that the modification requested is in the public interest. If the modification requested involves a substantial change in the nature and scope of services, the Department shall also find that such change serves a need for emergency medical care before approving the modification.
