Abstract:
This rule revises the Medicare regulations governing reasonable charges for payment for the purchase of used durable medical equipment. This revision is intended to encourage the sale of used equipment to Medicare beneficiaries. In addition, to correct a program inequity and to simplify program administration, we are extending, for services furnished on or after January 1, 1987, one of the provisions of section 9304 of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. The provision we are extending deals with determining customary charges for physicians who have terminated their compensation agreements with a hospital.
