Health Facility Registration

The Bermuda Health Council will be opening the 2022 Health Facility Registration process to all health-related businesses on June 27, 2022. Registrations will be valid for a 2-year period, beginning July 1^st 2022, and expiring on June 31^st 2024.

Health Facility registration is open to all health service providers (businesses, agencies, and organizations). Specifically, if a facility offers services that can directly impact a person’s physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, environmental or occupational health, they are invited to register with the Council. This is especially true of businesses who services are, or may be, reimbursable by health insurers, but may also include businesses not directly offering clinical services.

While registration with the Council is not required by law, for some facilities, registration provides businesses with a National Provider Identification Number (NPI). This NPI will aid in ensuring the accuracy of the health data collected by the Council. The Council will utilize these numbers to assist with system planning, make recommendations for insurance reimbursement, track adherence to safety and operational standards, ensure professional registration, and monitor high risk medical technologies.

In an effort to ensure a streamlined process, all applications and supporting documents are to be submitted online. These submissions will be maintained and secured under the Health Council’s confidentiality policy. To avoid any laps in registration, please ensure that all applications and supporting documents have been submitted in full prior to your registration certificates expiration date.

The Council will not register, or re-register, any facility in which there is clear validated evidence that the facility is unsafe, or is noncompliant with basic business or legal standards. The Council may also remove a facility’s registration for non-compliance with guidance given by the Council.

The Deadline for submissions is September 2^nd 2022.
