Abstract
This correction notice corrects several technical and typographical errors in the final rule with comment period that appeared in the November 27, 2007 Federal Register (72 FR 66222). The final rule with comment period addressed Medicare Part B payment policy, including the physician fee schedule (PFS) that is applicable for calendar year (CY) 2008; the competitive acquisition program (CAP); clinical lab fee schedule issues; performance standards for diagnostic testing facilities; conforming and clarifying changes for comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation facilities (CORFs); physician self-referral issues; and standards and requirements related to therapy services under Medicare Parts A and B. The final rule with comment period also updated the list of services subject to the physician self-referral prohibitions.
