What does this rule do in that area? What's the impact?

So I think the impact will be that CMS is going to have a broader array of this affiliation information that it can use, as you were suggesting, to revoke downstream providers.

So what's changing is the actual affiliation disclosure requirement is becoming broader.

So if CMS requests affiliation information, providers are going to have to give more of that.

So currently there is a five-year limitation on affiliation disclosures.

That's going to be going away.

So these disclosures or the information contained in them is not going to be time bound anymore.

key terms are not defined, but consistent with the theme of CMS just drawing to itself maximum discretion and flexibility.
