Medicare Program; Prospective Payment System for Hospital Outpatient Services; Correction

AGENCY: Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), HHS.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

SUMMARY: In the April 7, 2000 issue of the Federal Register (65 FR 18434), we published a final rule with a comment period that implemented a prospective payment system for hospital outpatient services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries. In addition, the final rule established requirements and standards for facilities or organizations seeking provider-based status. This document corrects technical errors in the preamble and regulations text made in that part of the final rule related to provider-based requirements. (A document published in the Federal Register on October 3, 2000 (65 FR 58919) delayed the effective date of the provider-based regulations from October 10, 2000 to January 10, 2001 and made a conforming change in the regulations text.)

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 10, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda McKenna, (410) 786-4537.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In FR Doc. 00-8215 of April 7, 2000 (65 FR 18434), there were several typographical errors. The provisions in this document are effective as if they had been included in the document published in the Federal Register on April 7, 2000.
