Abstract
This final rule revises the regulations to reflect changes in the Social Security Act (the Act), enacted in certain sections of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection Act of 2000 (BIPA), relating to the Medicare+Choice (M+C) program. This final rule only makes conforming changes to the regulations that implement the sections of the BIPA, and do not have any substantive effect. This final rule also makes technical corrections to the M+C regulation published on June 29, 2000 (65 FR 40170). The remainder of the sections of the BIPA relating to the M+C program will be addressed in a subsequent proposed rule.
