Health maintenance organizations--Public Health Service. Final regulations.
These rules amend the Public Health Service (PHS) regulations on health maintenance organizations (HMOs) by implementing certain changes made by the Health Maintenance Organization Amendments of 1981. The provision governing repayment of grant funds under certain circumstances is also amended. In addition, this rule amends the requirements for the award of loans or loan guarantees to qualified HMOs for the acquisition or construction of ambulatory health care facilities and the acquisition of equipment for those facilities (Subpart J). The amendments to Subpart J are made as a result of public comments on the interim regulations published on April 9, 1980.
