Certificates of Need in Kentucky

With offices in both Louisville and Lexington, attorneys at The Strause Law Group, PLLC are dedicated to helping clients obtain Certificates of Need for the development of health care facilities and services. We serve individuals and businesses throughout Kentucky, including physicians, nursing home administrators, home health care facilities, for-profit and non-profit health care organizations, adult daycare facilities, clinics, and others in the health care industry.

Our clients are usually well aware that in order to establish, expand or construct a nursing home, hospital, clinic, outpatient surgery center, or home health agency, interested parties must gain approval from the certificate of Need office. Approval of an application depends on state estimates regarding the need (i.e. future demand) for the service or facility. Because these estimates may limit the level of services or facilities in a particular geographic area, the competition for Certificates of Need can be intense.

Historically, parties who are represented by experienced attorneys are more successful in the process because they can better navigate the application process. At The Strause Law Group, PLLC,  we guide our clients through each step of the process (preparation of the application, request for hearings, pleadings, prosecution and/or defense of clients at the hearings, and any necessary appeals). Attorney Randall S. Strause is a former Chief Administrative Law Judge and Hearing Officer, Administrative Hearings Branch, for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. In this position, he determined which applicants received ertificates of Need. Now representing private clients, he uses in-depth knowledge of the elements of a successful application to help clients achieve the best possible results.

After obtaining a Certificate of Need, the work doesn't stop there. We can help our clients with the next phase which is licensure. Our extensive experience also includes managing the ongoing regulatory compliance issues one may encounter.

If you are considering obtaining a Certificate of Need or Kentucky licensure for a health care facility or related service, you should be aware that strict deadlines are enforced throughout the regulatory process.
