## Abstract

This final rule sets forth several revisions and technical corrections to the OIG regulations pertaining to fraud and abuse in Federal health care programs. This rule contains revisions and clarifications with respect to the definition of the term "item or service," the reinstatement procedures relating to exclusions resulting from a default on health education or scholarship obligations, the factors considered in determining civil money penalty amounts for patient dumping violations, and several other matters. In addition, this rule makes a number of minor technical corrections to the current regulations in order to clarify various issues and inadvertent errors appearing in the OIG's existing regulatory authorities.
