## Abstract

This final rule revised Medicare and Medicaid regulations concerning surety bond requirements published in the Federal Register (63 FR 29648) on June 1, 1998. Those regulations specified submission compliance dates for all home health agencies (HHAs) to furnish a surety bond to HCFA and/or to the State Medicaid agency. This rule removes those submission compliance dates.
