ment under such section, such as payments for indirect
medical education costs under subsection (d)(5)(B) of such
section, disproportionate share payments under subsection
(d)(5)(A) of such section, payments to a rural referral cen-
ter under subsection (d)(5)(C) of such section, payments to

pital under subsection (d)(5)(D) of such section 1886, or
payments to a medicare-dependent, small rural hospital
under subsection (d)(5)(G) of such section 1886; and
(B) for which more than 60 percent of its inpatient
days or discharges during 2 of the 3 most recently audited
cost reporting periods for which the Secretary has a settled
cost report were attributable to inpatients entitled to bene-
fits under part A of title XVIII of such Act.
(b) REPORT.Not later than 9 months after the date of enact-
ment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report
