Section 281.96.8. Appeal of certificate denial.

Any applicant may appeal the denial of a properly submitted application for certificate of need to the director of the department. Appeals must be in writing and received within ten working days of the date of the notice of the decision to deny. Appeals must be based on a contention that the process was conducted outside of statutory authority; violated state or federal law, policy, or rule; did not provide adequate public notice; was altered without adequate public notice; or involved conflict of interest by staff or committee members. The hearing and appeals procedures found in 281—Chapter 6 that govern the director’s decisions shall be applicable to any appeal of denial.
