What the document says
“The Secretary shall, through notice and comment rulemaking, establish a process for each provider with an off-campus outpatient department of a provider to submit an initial and subsequent attestation”
The new paragraph requires the Secretary, through notice and comment rulemaking, to set up a process for submitting the initial and later attestations, and for the Secretary to review each one and decide whether the department complies, through site visits, remote audits or other means the Secretary finds appropriate.
What the document actually says
“The Secretary shall, through notice and comment rulemaking, establish a process for each provider with an off-campus outpatient department of a provider to submit an initial and subsequent attestation”
That sentence, in plain words
The health chief must set up a way for these statements to be filed. It must be done through a rule with public notice and comment.
What this is about
The agency must also check the statements. It may visit a site. It may audit from a distance. Or it may find another way.

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.
