Abstract
This final rule responds to comments that we received on a proposed rule that was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 2002. It implements certain provisions relating to the Medicare+Choice (M+C) program that were enacted in the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Benefits Improvement and Protection (BIPA) Act of 2000. It also addresses comments on, and makes revisions to, regulations that were discussed in the October 2002 proposed rule that were based on M+C program experience and feedback from M+C organizations.
