State hospitals skip review for heart procedures

Beginning July 27, 2025, Washington state-owned or state-operated hospitals do not need a certificate of need for elective percutaneous coronary intervention. This is a planned procedure to open narrowed heart arteries. The law removes this state approval step but does not guarantee more services or give patients a direct payment.
