All patient identifying information must remain confidential.

Detailed expenditure reporting is mandatory, covering the costs of procedures, staff training, and infrastructure improvements related to abortion facilitation.
Reports must specify if funds from the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund (PACT Act Fund) were used, ensuring all patient identifying information remains strictly confidential.
