Material Project Modifications

Material Project Modifications. In determining whether a modification is material, the Department may consider changes in approved capital expenditure, project location, ownership or control, approved services, bed capacity, major medical equipment, project size or scope, service area, or implementation schedule. No single factor shall be dispositive. The Department may determine that a proposed modification: 1. May be approved administratively; 2. Requires additional review; 3. Requires a formal application; 4. Requires a new Certificate of Need application; or 5. Does not require further review. Requests for project modification shall be submitted in writing, describe the proposed modification, explain the reason for the modification, provide supporting documentation, and include any information requested by the Department.
