Extenuating circumstances may prevent an applicant from proceeding with the proposed project within the valid period of the approved CON.
The Department has adopted a format for "Extension/Renewal of an Expired CON" that is to be used by proponents of a project when the increase in capital expenditure does not exceed the rate of inflation and no change in the intent or scope of the project has occurred.
This application is to be submitted and reviewed under procedures and criteria set forth in this manual for CON review in compliance with state regulations. The following criteria will be considered when reviewing projects for extension/renewal of an expired CON.:
The Department shall not consider a CON for extension/renewal that has expired more than 18 months, or one that is not shown in the current State Health Plan.
The fee assessed for prior approved projects shall be one-half of the original assessment. The minimum assessment shall be not less than $2,500.00 and the maximum fee shall not exceed $37,500.
