A technical correction is made to an exception to this moratorium for certain LTC hospitals that:

  • began their qualifying period for Medicare payment on or before April 1, 2014;
  • have a binding written agreement as of that date with an outside, unrelated party for the actual construction, renovation, lease, or demolition for an LTC hospital, and have expended, before that date, at least 10% of the project's estimated cost (or, if less, $ 2.5 million); or
  • have obtained on or before that date an approved certificate of need in a state where one is required.

This bill applies the exception to any similar moratorium.
