CTCA, Hospitals Duel Over Georgia CON Law
Wednesday, October 14th, 2015
Georgia health officials should remove a cap on in-state patients served by Cancer Treatment Centers of America so its hospital in Newnan can serve more Georgians suffering from cancer, CTCA officials said Tuesday.
But hospital CEOs from across Georgia and their lobbyists at the state Capitol said exempting the facility from the Certificate of Need law that applies to all other Georgia hospitals would let CTCA “cherry-pick” the paying patients those hospitals need to offset the costs of treating the indigent.
