## Abstract

This final rule establishes a process under which interested parties may request a review of whether the current Medicare payment amount for intraocular lenses furnished by participating ambulatory surgical centers is appropriate for a class of new technology intraocular lenses. This rule implements section 141(b) of the Social Security Act Amendments of 1994, which requires us to develop and implement this process. This rule also serves as the initial notice to those wishing to submit requests for review of the appropriateness of the payment amount with respect to a particular intraocular lens, in accordance with Sec. 416.195 of this rule.
