What the document says
“provides that an eligible out-of-State provider that enrolls as a participating provider in the State plan (or a waiver of such plan) through such process shall be so enrolled for a 5-year period, unless the provider is terminated or excluded from participation during such period.”
The new paragraph requires the state plan to provide that a provider who enrolls through the streamlined process stays enrolled for five years, unless terminated or excluded from participation during that period.
What the document actually says
“provides that an eligible out-of-State provider that enrolls as a participating provider in the State plan (or a waiver of such plan) through such process shall be so enrolled for a 5-year period, unless the provider is terminated or excluded from participation during such period.”
That sentence, in plain words
A doctor who signs up this way stays signed up for five years. That ends early only if the doctor is cut off or shut out.
What this is about
Sign-up can run out and have to be done again. A five year term cuts down on that paperwork.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
