Colorado Revised Statutes Title 25.5. Health Care Policy and Financing § 25.5-1-704. Hospital community investment compliance--rules

(1)(a) If the state department finds that a reporting hospital is not in compliance with the community benefit requirements of this part 7, the state department shall notify the reporting hospital of its noncompliance and identify the information that needs to be provided. If a reporting hospital does not comply, the state department shall require the reporting hospital to submit to the state department a corrective action plan within one hundred and twenty days for approval by the state department.

(b) If noncompliance continues or a reporting hospital fails to submit a corrective action plan, or if the state department determines a hospital's noncompliance with this section is knowing or willful or a repeated pattern of noncompliance exists, the state department shall consider the size of the hospital and the seriousness of the violation in setting a fine amount. For a reporting hospital owned by or affiliated with a hospital system comprised of three or more hospitals, the fine must be not more than twenty thousand dollars per week per violation. For all other reporting hospitals, the fine must be not more than five thousand dollars per week per violation.
