Statute 65-429: Issuance and renewal of licenses; funding the cost of
administration of the medical care facilities licensure and risk management
program; display of license.
Upon receipt of an application for license, the licensing agency shall
issue with the approval of the state fire marshal a license provided the
applicant and the physical facilities of the medical care facility meet
the requirements established under this act. A license, unless suspended
or revoked, shall be renewable annually without charge upon the filing
by the licensee, and approval by the licensing agency, of an annual
report upon such uniform dates and containing such information in such
form as the licensing agency prescribes by rules and
regulations. A medical care facility
which has been licensed by the licensing agency and which has received
certification for participation in federal reimbursement programs and which
has been accredited by the joint commission on accreditation of
health care organizations
or the American osteopathic association may be granted a license renewal
based on such certification and accreditation.
The cost of administration of the medical care facilities licensure and risk
management program provisions of this act pursuant to
K.S.A. 65-433 and 65-4921
et seq., and amendments thereto, shall be funded by an annual
assessment from the health care stabilization fund, which assessment shall not
exceed $200,000 in any one fiscal year. The licensing agency shall make an
annual report to the health care stabilization fund regarding the use of these
funds.
Each license shall be
issued only for the premises and persons or governmental units named in the
application and shall not be transferable or assignable except with the
written approval of the licensing agency. A separate license is not
required for two separate establishments which are located in the same or
contiguous counties, which provide the services required by
K.S.A. 65-431
and amendments thereto and which are organized under a single owner or
governing board with a single designated administrator and medical staff.
Licenses shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the licensed premises.
