At the conclusion of the medical indigency hearing the Board shall close the record unless the Board determines in its discretion additional evidence and/or briefing is required, in which event, it may proceed as follows: close the record with the exception of allowing the submission of specifically requested information, leave the entire record open for the submission of additional evidence and/or briefing to a date certain at which time it will automatically be closed without further action of the Board, or continue the hearing to a date certain for the purpose of receiving additional evidence and/or briefing and conducting such further proceedings as may, in its discretion, be advisable. The Board may not continue the medical indigency hearing or leave the record open for more than forty five (45) days unless mutually stipulated by the Board and the applicant(s)/appellant(s).
