A Small Community Hospital holding an exemption issued under the Pilot Program shall notify the Department in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of any material change in: 1. Ownership or control of the hospital; Page 79 — Mississippi State Department of Health 2. The scope of the exempted service; 3. The location at which the exempted service is provided; 4. Bed capacity associated with the exempted service; 5. The operational model under which the exempted service is provided; or 6. The hospital's eligibility under the statutory qualification basis on which the exemption was issued. A material change described in this rule is subject to further review and approval by the Department and may require modification of the exemption, a new application under Rule 9.5, or other action authorized by Rule 9.10. This rule does not modify the notice and reporting obligations applicable to a change of ownership under Rules 3.11 and 3.12 of this Manual, which continue to apply independently where the underlying transaction otherwise meets the definition of a Change of Ownership under Rule 1.7.
