Key Takeaways

  • •Old rules about money and healthcare don't disappear right away.
  • •The health department can change these rules later if they want.
  • •Until then, everyone must follow the old rules like before.

Example

A hospital used to follow old rules for billing patients.

Even after the health department takes over, the hospital keeps using those old rules until the health department makes new ones.
