Health care programs: fraud and abuse; revised OIG exclusion authorities resulting from Public Law 104-191; correction--Office of Inspector General (OIG). HHS. Final rule; correcting amendment.
This document contains corrections to the final regulations which were published in the Federal Register of Wednesday, September 2, 1998 (63 FR 46676). The regulations addressed revisions to the OIG's administrative sanction authorities resulting from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, along with technical and conforming changes to the OIG exclusion authorities. A number of inadvertent errors appeared in the text of the regulations relating to program integrity for the Medicare and State health care programs. As a result, we are making corrections to two sections addressing the length of exclusion and notice of intent to exclude in order to assure the technical correctness of these regulations.
