Appealing a state agency decision about a certificate of need
This section explains how to appeal a state agency's final decision about a certificate of need (or an exemption or withdrawal). If your application is denied, the agency must tell you in writing why. You can appeal to the circuit court in your home circuit or where the health care facility or service is or would be located.
