AN ACT relative to elective angioplasty.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Department of Health and Human Services states they are unable to determine the fiscal impact of this bill on state, county, and local revenue or expenditures.
METHODOLOGY:
The Department states this bill would instruct the Certificate of Need Board not to authorize an acute care facility to provide elective angioplasty unless the facility also provides adult open heart surgery services.
