Can states limit the number or type of hospitals eligible to conduct PE determinations for

If a state has elected to provide PE for individuals with breast or cervical cancer under section 435.1103(c)(2), it can limit qualified entities under that section to providers who conduct screenings for breast and cervical cancer under the state's CDC BCCEDP, and if it has done so, the state may limit hospitals that may determine PE for individuals with breast or cervical cancer on that basis to hospitals that conduct screenings under the state's BCCEDP. In states that do not opt to provide PE for individuals with breast or cervical cancer under section 435.1103(c), states similarly may limit hospitals' ability to determine PE for individuals with breast or cervical cancer under section 435.1110 to those that conduct screenings under the state' BCCEDP.
