Abstract
This final rule removes an emergency waiver of the Medicare end-stage renal disease (ESRD) conditions for coverage granted to permit the transplant team of an approved renal transplant center to furnish kidney transplant services in three specific hospitals in the Houston, Texas area during a state of emergency. The state of emergency has ceased, the primary kidney transplant center in the area is now fully operational, and the effective period of the waiver provisions has expired.
