Medicare program; self-implementing coverage and payments provisions: 1990 legislation--HCFA. Final rule with comment period.
This rule updates Medicare regulations to add or conform them to certain self-implementing provisions on coverage of services and payment requirements under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 (OBRA '90). OBRA '90 was enacted November 5, 1990 and the cited changes to the statute are already in effect. Certain related self-implementing provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1989 (OBRA '89), and the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act (MCCA) of 1988, are included as necessary for consistency and clarity of the OBRA '90 provisions.
