1. (1) A hospital hold is a process which allows an in-state general hospital or an out-of-state contiguous general hospital to assist an individual who is admitted to the hospital for an inpatient hospital stay to secure a date of request when the individual is unable to apply for the Oregon Health Plan due to inpatient hospitalization.

2. (2) The Division of Medical Assistance Programs (Division) will accept hospital holds for inpatient stays. Hospitals must either submit a DMAP 3261 or a hospital generated form to Division within 24 hours of the admission time or the next working day. If a hospital uses its own form, the form must contain all the information found on the DMAP 3261.

   [ED. NOTE: Forms referenced are available from the agency.]
