Medicare program; quarterly listing of program issuances and coverage decisions--HCFA. General notice

This notice lists HCFA manual instructions, substantive and interpretative regulations and other Federal Register notices, and statements of policy that were published during April, May, and June 1991 that relate to the Medicare program. Section 1871(c) of the Social Security Act requires that we publish a list of our Medicare issuances in the Federal Register at least every three months. We also are providing the content of the revisions of the Medicare Coverage Issues Manual published during this quarter. On August 21, 1989 (54 FR 34555), we published the content of the Manual and indicated that we will publish quarterly any updates. Adding the Medicare Coverage Issues Manual changes to this listing allows us to fulfill this requirement in a manner that facilitates identification of coverage and other changes in our manuals.
