The Secretary may implement by program instruction
What the document says“Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services may implement the amendment made by subsection (a) by program instruction or otherwise.”
Subsection (b) of section 6211 allows the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement the amendment by program instruction or otherwise, notwithstanding any other provision of law.
What the document actually says“Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services may implement the amendment made by subsection (a) by program instruction or otherwise.”
The health chief may put this change in place through a program notice. Other law does not stand in the way.
Writing a rule takes months of notice and comment. A program notice is faster. This part allows the faster path.
