Section 182-16-130. Index of significant decisions.

(1) A final decision may be relied upon, used, or cited as precedent by a party if the final order has been indexed in the authority's index of significant decisions in accordance with RCW 34.05.473 (1)(b).

(2) The index of significant decisions is available to the public at the health care authority (HCA) internet page. As decisions are indexed they will be linked on this page. For additional information on how to obtain a copy of the index, contact the HCA hearing representative.

(3) A final decision published in the index of significant decisions may be removed from the index when:

(a) A precedential published decision entered by the court of appeals or the supreme court reverses an indexed final decision; or

(b) HCA determines that the indexed final decision is no longer precedential due to changes in statute, rule or policy.
