Read Article A state board has recommended rejecting Central Maine Healthcare’s request to build a $14 million ambulatory surgical center in Topsham. Central Maine Healthcare has not demonstrated the economic feasibility or the public need for the center, according to a March 5 analysis by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services Division of Licensing and Certification. The review also found that Central Maine Healthcare couldn’t prove that the center wouldn’t have a negative impact on the quality of care by existing service providers in the Midcoast. Healthcare providers must obtain a state certificate of need to build new health care facilities, expand existing facilities or make other major changes to the health care landscape. That requirement is intended to control health care costs by restricting the duplication of services.
