Medicare program; self-implementing coverage and payment provisions: 1993 legislation--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
This rule updates Medicare regulations to conform them to certain self-implementing provisions on coverage of services and payment requirements under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA 93). OBRA 93 was enacted on August 10, 1993 and several of the cited changes to the statute are already in effect and the others will be shortly. We are also implementing a related provision of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA 90) as necessary for consistency and clarity of the OBRA 93 provisions.
