Abstract
In the March 27, 1996, issue of the Federal Register, we published, at 61 FR 13430, a final rule with comment period that implements requirements in sections 4204(a) and 4731 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 that concern physician incentive plans. In the preamble of that rule, we set forth dates by which prepaid health plans had to comply with certain of the rule's provisions. This document clarifies and changes some of those deadlines, and provides an opportunity for public comments on them. It does not otherwise change the requirements set forth in the rule. In addition this document corrects the March 27 rule's inadvertent reversal of the nomenclature change made by a previous final rule.
