No person or governmental unit shall establish, conduct, or maintain a Pilot Freestanding Emergency Room in this state without a license. The licensing agency shall not issue licenses for more than five (5) pilot freestanding emergency rooms. Licensing fees will be set by the board.
Provisional License. Within its discretion, the Mississippi State Department of Health may issue a provisional license when a temporary condition of non-compliance with these regulations exists in one or more particulars. A provisional license shall be issued only if the Department of Health is satisfied that preparations are being made to qualify for a regular license and that the health and safety of patients will not be endangered. One condition on which a provisional license may be issued is as follows: A new pilot freestanding emergency room may be issued a provisional license prior to opening and subsequent to meeting the required minimum staffing personnel. The license issued under this condition shall be valid until the issuance of a regular license but shall not exceed five months following date of issuance whichever may be sooner.
