The EOHHS requires that a qualified hospital meet certain performance standard to continue participation in the HPE. First, the qualified hospital must submit full Medicaid applications for ninety-five percent (95%) of the individuals granted HPE within five (5) calendar days from the date of the initial determination of presumptive eligibility. Second the percentage of these Medicaid applications that must be deemed fully complete by the EOHHS -- that is, contain no errors or otherwise require the State's intervention in processing -- is set forth in contractual standards between the hospital and the EOHHS. Last, the number of individuals qualifying for HPE who must be determined to be eligible for full Medicaid, as determined by the EOHHS, is also set forth in the Notice of Intent to Participate in the HPE Program and a Memorandum of Understanding with EOHHS for the qualified hospital established by EOHHS. In the event a qualified hospital does not meet acceptable performance standards, participation in the HPE may be suspended or terminated at the discretion of the EOHHS.
