(C) Procedural requirements
State agencies to which information is disclosed pursuant to such section
1320a–7m shall adhere to uniform procedures established by the Secretary.
(c) Covered algorithm defined
In this section, the term "covered algorithm"—
(1) means a predictive modeling or other analytics technology, as used for purposes of section
1320a–7m(a) of this title to identify and prevent waste, fraud, and abuse with respect to the Medicare program under subchapter XVIII, the Medicaid program under subchapter XIX, and the Children's Health Insurance Program under subchapter XXI; and
(2) includes the mathematical expressions utilized in the application of such technology and the means by which such technology is developed.
