(a) The state department shall not deny a hospital’s request to provide treatment to burn victims who are eligible under the California Children’s Services Program solely on the basis that the hospital does not have separate facilities for child and adult burn victims, provided that the hospital has approval from the department to operate a burn center pursuant to Section 1255.
(b) Subdivision (a) shall only be applied to burn units located in hospitals where there are no regional burn centers, or any other existing burn center, within an 85-mile radius of the hospital.
(c) Subdivision (a) shall only apply if the hospital seeking the exemption had a state-approved burn center in operation as of January 1, 1982, and if there is no hospital specializing in children’s services within an 85-mile radius of the hospital seeking the subdivision (a) exemption.
(d) Hospitals having qualified and received a subdivision (a) exemption, shall demonstrate, at the request of the department, that the nursing staff providing burn care to children victims have satisfactorily completed post-graduate training in pediatrics.
(Added by Stats. 1995, Ch. 415, Sec. 8. Effective January 1, 1996.)
