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.

Periodic Reporting Requirements 
From June 1, 2016 until September 15, 2016, the Department, through the Office of Health Planning, is permitting facilities, currently not in compliance with mandated reporting requirements, an opportunity to complete outstanding surveys. Facilities currently not in compliance will receive a Notification of Deficiencies which includes details regarding their outstanding surveys, where surveys may be completed, and contact information for the Department. 
To access an outstanding survey, please visit www.georgiahealthdata.info. If you are a facility and are unsure whether you have outstanding surveys, please visit www.georgiamap2care.info 
CON Thresholds become effective annually on July 1. The current and effective thresholds can be found on the CON Thresholds page.

Special Note 
The Letters of Intent section of the Tracking and Appeals Report provides the date on which the CON Application must be submitted for each potential project. If the CON application is not received on that date, the associated Letter of Intent is considered expired.
