Healthcare Facility Construction                                       


Rules. An amended healthcare facility construction rule was filed on April 3, 2008. The amended rule gives healthcare facility owners the option of either utilizing the Department or an approved third-party plan reviewer and/or interim inspector (at the facility’s own expense).  Facilities are not required to utilize third-party plan reviewers and/or interim inspectors.  If a facility chooses to have the Department conduct their plan review and/or interim inspections, these will be prioritized by order of receipt in the Office of Healthcare Licensing and Surveys.

Rules (available in PDF format):       Current Rule: Chapter 3 - effective 04-03-08 thru current date
       Chapter 3 - effective 07-14-04 thru 03-19-07 and 07-24-07 thru 04-02-08
       Emergency Chapter 3 - effective 03-20-07 thru 07-23-07

Jurisdiction
.  Some Wyoming municipalities have requested jurisdiction over healthcare facility construction.  Whenever possible, these requests, which apply only to final plan reviews and inspections related to the International Building Codes, have been granted.  The option to use a third-party reviewer and/or interim inspector does not apply in those jurisdictions.  A list of jurisdictions delegated plan review and inspection responsibilities is available by clicking on the appropriate link in the table at the end of this section.

The Department will continue to review and approve all preliminary plan submissions. In addition, the Department will continue to perform all final licensure and Life Safety Code inspections.
