(1) The individual is eligible for the plan.

(3) The individual is enrolled in the plan at the time the service is being provided.

(4) The individual whose name appears on the card is the same individual for whom the service is being performed.

Such hospitals shall verify that the individual is eligible for presumptive eligibility under 405 IAC 10-4-11.

  (c) If an individual is disenrolled from an insurer while receiving inpatient hospital services covered under the plan, the insurer shall pay any claims related to the covered inpatient hospital services provided to the member through the date of discharge.
