States must have independent reviewers check the quality of at least 5% of their treatment providers each year and cooperate with federal investigations. States can only get a grant if they protect patient records from improper disclosure.

(a) In general — The State must: arrange for independent reviewers to check, every grant year, the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of its treatment services, making sure they review at least 5 percent of the entities providing services — chosen so that 5 percent fairly represents all of them; allow and cooperate with any federal investigation carried out under section 300x–55; and give the Secretary any data required under section 290aa–4(c) and (d), while cooperating on developing consistent, uniform ways to collect that data. (b) Patient records — The Secretary can only make the grant if the State has a system in place to protect patient records — kept by the State or by any organization getting grant money — from being improperly disclosed.
