(1)A person seeking to initiate, expand, replace, relocate, or acquire a fixed or mobile magnetic resonance imager service within a county that has a population of more than 160,000 but does not have at least 2 magnetic resonance imager units may file a letter of intent with the department prior to the initiation, expansion, replacement, relocation, or acquisition of a fixed or mobile magnetic resonance imager unit within that county instead of obtaining a certificate of need.

(2)Within 30 days after receiving the letter of intent, if the department verifies that the county has a population of more than 160,000 and that the county does not already have 2 magnetic resonance imager units, the department shall send a written acknowledgment to the person approving the initiation, expansion, replacement, relocation, or acquisition of a fixed or mobile magnetic resonance imager unit.

(3)A person shall not initiate, expand, replace, relocate, or acquire a fixed or mobile magnetic resonance imager unit under this section without a certificate of need unless that person receives a written acknowledgment of approval from the department under subsection (2).

(4)A person seeking to initiate, expand, replace, relocate, or acquire a fixed or mobile magnetic resonance imager service under this section shall be a nonprofit organization and shall demonstrate that the service shall be accessible to all patients regardless of his or her ability to pay and shall participate in title XIX of the social security act, chapter 531, 49 Stat. 620, 42 U.S.C. 1396 to 1396r-8 to 1396v.
