What the document says
“Section 1886(d)(12) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395ww(d)(12)) is amended”
Subsection (a) makes eight edits to section 1886(d)(12) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395ww(d)(12)). Each strikes wording that split fiscal year 2025 at March 31, 2025 or April 1, 2025, and puts the whole of fiscal year 2025 in its place.
What the document actually says
“Section 1886(d)(12) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395ww(d)(12)) is amended”
That sentence, in plain words
A part of the Social Security Act is changed.
What this is about
The old wording cut the year in two at the end of March. The new wording covers the whole year. The rule pays more to hospitals that treat few patients.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
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.
