Health Care Financing Administration--Professional Standards Review; redesignation of PSRO areas in California. Final regulation.
This regulation redesignates Professional Standards Review Organization (PSRO) areas in California in order to combine PSRO Areas XIX and XXIII. This redesignation will facilitate initiation of PSRO activity in the currently uncovered area of Los Angeles, California, formerly designated as Area XIX. In addition, the redesignation results in a higher degree of congruence with the Health Service Areas (HSA) designations and in more effective coordination with Medicare intermediaries and carriers and Medicaid fiscal agents.
