Children's hospitals, federally qualified health centers, and federally qualified health center look-alikes, if they are eligible to be qualified providers and request to serve as qualified providers, may serve as qualified providers for purposes of the presumptive eligibility for pregnant women option. The director may authorize other types of providers that are eligible to be qualified providers and request to serve as qualified providers to serve as qualified providers for purposes of the presumptive eligibility for pregnant women option.
