Health Care Fraud and Abuse Data Collection Program: Reporting of Final Adverse Actions; Correction

This document contains a correction to the final regulations which were published in the Federal Register on October 26, 1999 (64 FR 57740). These regulations established a national health care fraud and abuse data collection program for the reporting and disclosing of certain adverse actions taken against health care providers, suppliers and practitioners, and for maintaining a data base of final adverse actions taken against health care providers, suppliers and practitioners. An inadvertent error appeared in the text of the regulations concerning the definition of the term "health plan." As a result, we are making a correction to 45 CFR 61.3, Definitions, to assure the technical correctness of these regulations.
