HB5

Mississippi HB5 would exempt end-stage renal disease facilities from the certificate of need law.

Mississippi HB5 amends the state's health care certificate of need law to exclude end-stage renal disease facilities from its application. The bill modifies Section 41-7-173 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 to remove end-stage renal disease facilities from the list of health care facilities requiring a certificate of need. This change aims to streamline the process for establishing or modifying such facilities, potentially enhancing access to critical care services for patients with end-stage renal disease.
