Notes: The provisions of the Provider Payment Act of 2010 exempt eligible hospitals from being required to pay shortfalls associated with CON indigent and charity care commitments while the Act is in force. Critical Access Hospitals, Psychiatric Hospitals, and State-owned hospitals are exempt from the PPA so must still pay shortfalls associated with CON commitments.

New Requirements for Verification of Lawful Presence within the United States
Effective January 1, 2012 agencies or political subdivisions of the State of Georgia providing or administering a public benefit are required to verify that applicants for a public benefit are in the United States in a lawful manner. See O.C.G.A. 50-36-1(e). Certificates of Need (CON) are considered a public benefit under the new provisions. Therefore, an applicant for a CON must be in compliance with the law for the CON to be awarded.
Effective January 1, 2012 all CON applications must include an original signed and notarized affidavit in accordance with O.C.G.A. 50-36-1(e)(2) as well as a copy of a secure and verifiable document in accordance with O.C.G.A. 50-36-2. A copy of the affidavit along with instructions for submitting the affidavit and secure and verifiable document can be located at the following link or by navigating to the CON Applications and Forms page from the CON Information link from www.dch.georgia.gov.
http://dch.georgia.gov/vgn/images/portal/cit_1210/23/25/180044217HB87_CON_Instructions_1-1-2012.pdf
CONs that are approved and issued after January 1, 2012 for applications that were submitted prior to January 1, 2012 are also subject to these provisions. DCH will contact applicants to provide instruction related to compliance prior to issuing such a CON.
Open Record Requests
