title: Interim rules for health insurance portability for group health plans and individual market health insurance reform: portability from group to individual coverage; and federal rules for access in the individual market; state alternative mechanisms to federal rules--HCFA. Interim rule; correction.
abstract: Federal Register documents 97-8217 and 97-8275 in this issue include provisions that implement the health insurance portability, availability, and renewability provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Those documents contain a technical error in amendments because of differing effective dates. The rule with the earlier effective date establishes a new part in a subchapter established by the rule with the latter date. This document corrects the error.
