An off-campus department is one not on the campus or within the campus distance
“``(i) on the campus (as defined in such section) of such provider; or
``(ii) within the distance (described in such definition of campus) from a remote location of a hospital facility (as defined in such section).''.”
The new paragraph defines the term as a department of a provider, as section 413.65 of title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines that, which is not on the provider's campus and is not within the distance described in that definition of campus from a remote location of a hospital facility.
What the document actually says
“``(i) on the campus (as defined in such section) of such provider; or
``(ii) within the distance (described in such definition of campus) from a remote location of a hospital facility (as defined in such section).''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The site is not on the parent's campus. It is also not within the set distance of a far-off hospital site.
What this is about
A campus has a set edge under an older rule. Anything past that edge is off campus. The rules here cover only those sites.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check 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.
