Any hospital not meeting two (2) of the above criteria may appeal the decision to the MSDH, Office of Health Policy and Planning. Appeals must be submitted in writing and will only be considered if the appeal provides sound evidence that future access to health care for the citizens in the facility's primary service area, as defined by the most recent patient origin study, will be jeopardized if it is not declared a necessary provider of health care services.
