(1) Has in effect a statement of election to claim payment for all covered emergency services furnished during a calendar year, in accordance with § 424.104;

(3) Submits evidence requested by CMS to establish that the services meet the requirements of this subpart.

(1) Contain sufficient information to clearly establish that, when the additional services were furnished, the emergency still existed; and
(2) Indicate when the emergency ended, which, for inpatient hospital services, is the earliest date on which the beneficiary could be safely discharged or transferred to a participating hospital or other institution.
