title: Evidence From Excluded Medical Sources of Evidence. Final rules.
abstract: In accordance with section 812 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 
  2015 (BBA section 812), these rules explain how we will address 
  evidence furnished by medical sources that meet one of BBA section 
  812's exclusionary categories (excluded medical sources of evidence) as 
  described below. Under these new rules, we will not consider evidence 
  furnished by an excluded medical source of evidence unless we find good 
  cause to do so. We identify five circumstances in which we may find 
  good cause. In these rules, we also require excluded medical sources of 
  evidence to notify us of their excluded status under section 
  223(d)(5)(C)(i) of the Social Security Act (Act), as amended, in 
  writing each time they furnish evidence to us that relates to a claim 
  for initial or continuing benefits under titles II or XVI of the Act. 
  These rules will allow us to fulfill obligations that we have under BBA 
  section 812.
