section 13-64-301 do not apply to any outpatient mental health-care facility,
including a behavioral health safety net provider, and to any extended care facility
or hospice with sixteen or fewer inpatient beds, including to nursing homes or
rehabilitation facilities. The department of public health and environment shall by
rule establish financial responsibility standards that are less than those prescribed
in this section for classes of health-care institutions that have less risk of exposure
to medical malpractice claims or for other reasons that render the limits provided in
