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.

Office of Health Planning Contact Information
For general questions related to the Office of Health Planning, questions concerning Health Planning surveys, indigent and charity care commitment shortfalls, and all other matters please contact Rachel L. King, J.D., Executive Director (rking1@dch.ga.gov)
For questions concerning pending Certificate of Need applications please contact Bruce Henderson, Senior Reviewer (bhenderson@dch.ga.gov)
For LNR/DET letters and for CON related matters please contact Roxana Tatman, Legal Director, Health Planning (rtatman@dch.ga.gov )
Letters of Determination
The Department will require that a determination request be submitted for any proposed activity that may be exempt under O.C.G.A. 31-6. Such requests will be accepted only on the Department's Determination Request form with the required filing fee of $250. Note: Requests for confirmation of the exemptions for a single specialty ambulatory surgical center or a joint venture ambulatory surgical center and equipment below the threshold are considered requests for a Letter of Nonreviewability ("LNR") and require a $500 filing fee.
Requirements for Verification of Lawful Presence within the United States
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.
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. 50-362. 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
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
36

CON Thresholds become effective annually on July 1. The current and effective thresholds can be found on the CON Thresholds page.
http://dch.georgia.gov/con-thresholds
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.
Please do not submit Letters of Opposition or Letters of Support prior to the Department's receipt of an actual Certificate of Need application.
Open Record Requests
Requests for documents or other information can be obtained using the Open Record Request form found at the following: http://dch.georgia.gov/health-planning-publications-and-data-resources The ORR Form found there can be emailed to HealthPlanningInfo@dch.ga.gov
