    7         395.003 Licensure; denial, suspension, and revocation.—
    8         (6)(a) A specialty hospital may not provide any service or
    9  regularly serve any population group beyond those services or
   10  groups specified in its license. A specialty-licensed children’s
   11  hospital that is authorized to provide pediatric cardiac
   12  catheterization and pediatric open-heart surgery services may
   13  provide cardiovascular service to adults who, as children, were
   14  previously served by the hospital for congenital heart disease,
   15  or to those patients who are referred only for a specialized
   16  procedure only for congenital heart disease by an adult
   17  hospital, without obtaining additional licensure as a provider
   18  of adult cardiovascular services. The agency may request
   19  documentation as needed to support patient selection and
   20  treatment. This subsection does not apply to a specialty
   21  licensed children’s hospital that is already licensed to provide
   22  adult cardiovascular services.
