Medicare program; comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility services--Health Care Financing Administration....

These proposed regulations would implement section 933 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-499) by expanding the scope of benefits under Medicare to include services furnished by comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities. The purpose of this proposal is to define comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facility services, to specify the conditions under which these services may be furnished, and to establish the conditions of participation that these facilities must meet to be certified as provided of services in the Medicare program.
