(b) These intergovernmental transfers shall be made in compliance with 42 U.S.C. §1396b.(w).

(c) If a publicly or state-owned hospital commences operations after October 1, 2013, the hospital shall commence making intergovernmental transfers to the Medicaid Agency in the first full month of operation of the hospital after October 1, 2013.
