The off-site campus shall comply with the provider-based requirements in 42 CFR 413.65 except that: a. the off-site campus shall be deemed in compliance with 42 CFR 413.65(d)(2)(vi) if the off-site campus refers patients requiring inpatient hospital services to either its main hospital provider campus or to the nearest available inpatient services; and b. the off-site campus shall be deemed in compliance with 42 CFR 413.65(e)(3)(i) if they are licensed as an off-site campus of another state-owned and/or operated hospital that is within 100 miles of the off-site campus. 2. The off-site campus provides outpatient hospital services.
