Medicare program; adjustment in payment amounts for new technology intraocular lenses--HCFA. Proposed rule.
This proposed rule would establish in regulations a process under which interested parties may request, with respect to a class of new technology intraocular lenses (IOLs), a review of the appropriateness of the current payment amount for IOLs furnished by Medicare-participating ambulatory surgical centers. The rule implements section 141(b) of the Social Security Act Amendments of 1994, which requires us to develop and implement this process.
