emergency rule published by the Office of the State Registrar in the
3/20/2011, LA Reg:

with DOS before 3/1/2011 will pay as they have in the past, EXCEPT that
submissions MUST BE RECEIVED AT DHH NO LATER THAN 5/31/2011. Cases with
covered charges of less than $150,000 before 3/1/2011 may qualify for
outlier payments if a patient is still in the hospital on/after
3/1/2011, and covered charges for the entire inpatient stay reaches/
exceeds $150,000. Regardless of any existing billing/payment issue for
DOS claims prior to 3/1/2011, if a hospital feels they are owed Outlier
