A. The State Commissioner of Health shall issue licenses for

the operation of hospitals found to comply with the provisions of

Section 1-701 et seq. of this title and rules and standards of the

Commissioner.

B. A hospital with an emergency department shall take the

following measures:

1. Adopt and enforce policies and procedures to comply with the

requirements of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, 42

U.S.C., Section 1395dd (2012), even if the facility does not

participate in the federal Medicare program;

2. Post signs in the dedicated emergency department specifying

the rights of individuals with emergency medical conditions who come

to the dedicated emergency department for health care services in

compliance with 42 CFR, Section 489.20(q), and indicate on the signs

whether the facility does not participate in Medicare, Medicaid or

other federally sponsored health insurance such as Tricare; and

3. Post the information required under paragraph 2 of this

subsection on the facility's Internet website.

C. The Commissioner may suspend or revoke any such license on

any of the following grounds:

1. Violation of any of the provisions of Section 1-701 et seq.

of this title, or rules or standards promulgated pursuant thereto;

2. Permitting, aiding or abetting the commission of any illegal

act in the licensed hospital or institution; or

3. Conduct or practices deemed by the Commissioner to be

detrimental to the welfare of the patients of the hospital or

institution.

D. Upon notice of non-renewal and expiration of the opportunity

to respond, a license shall be deemed to be surrendered. However,

Oklahoma Statutes - Title 63. Public Health and Safety Page 270

if a licensee has filed noticed with intent to renew the license

within the time frame established by the State Department of Health,

the license shall not be deemed to be surrendered by the Department.

E. If a license is revoked, a new application for license shall

be considered by the Commissioner on receipt of evidence that the

conditions upon which revocation was based have been corrected. A

new license may then be granted after proper inspection has been

made and all provisions of Section 1-701 et seq. of this title and

rules and standards of the Commissioner have been satisfied. The

application for a new license after revocation or surrender shall

result in a new license number from the Department. Issuance of the

license shall be based on compliance with all applicable laws and

rules for licensure and shall not be based on a correction upon

which a revocation was based.
