(b)  The number of medicare SNF beds issued under this section shall not exceed thirty (30) for each applicant. The applicant shall specify in the application the skilled services to be provided and how the applicant intends to provide such skilled services. In reviewing applications, the agency shall consider the application without regard as to whether the applicant currently has medicare SNF beds. Applications for medicare SNF beds under this section shall be reviewed by the department and considered by the agency pursuant to § 68-11-1609, rather than § 68-11-1621.
