Coverage, stated plainly

2,922 HCA files from January 2016 through October 2026: 528 CON applications, 1,636 exemption applications, 730 requests for a determination of reviewability and 28 more of mixed type. 2017 to 2022 come from the HCA annual case-file reports; 2016 and 2023 on come from the HCA's public document archive, which holds the case files and 578 weekly HCA newsletters. Each row links the HCA decision where one is posted, and findings and conditions are read from 449 CON decisions. Exemption and reviewability outcomes come from the newsletter or receipt letter, not from reading each decision.

  • Most West Virginia filings are exemptions and reviewability rulings, not full CON reviews. Each row is marked by type, so the 528 CON applications can be filtered out on their own.
  • Capital costs on scanned decisions are used only where checked against the page image; newsletter figures are as printed.
