Sec. 22239.
(1) If the certificate of need approval was based on a stipulation that the project would participate in title XIX and the project has not participated in title XIX for at least 12 consecutive months within the first 2 years of operation or continued to participate annually thereafter, the department shall revoke the certificate of need. A stipulation described in this section is germane to all health facility projects.
(2) The department shall monitor the participation in title XIX of each certificate of need applicant approved under this part. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (3), the department shall require each applicant to provide verification of participation in title XIX with its application and annually thereafter.
(3) The department shall not revoke or deny a certificate of need for a nursing home licensed under part 217 if that nursing home does not participate in title XIX on the effective date of the amendatory act that added this subsection but agrees to participate in title XIX if beds become available. This section does not prohibit a person from applying for and obtaining a certificate of need to acquire or begin operation of a nursing home that does not participate in title XIX.
