If the United States secretary of health and human services requires that a provision of the medicaid buy-in for workers with disabilities program be changed or removed in order for the secretary to approve the program or to avoid an extended delay in the secretary's approval, the medicaid director shall make the change or removal. The change or removal may cause the medicaid buy-in for workers with disabilities program to include a provision that is inconsistent with sections 5163.09 to 5163.096 of the Revised Code. Such a change or removal shall be made only to the extent necessary to obtain the United States secretary's approval or avoid an extended delay in the secretary's approval and shall be reflected in rules authorized by section 5163.098 of the Revised Code.
