Abstract
This correcting amendment corrects several technical and typographical errors in the final rule with comment period that appeared in the December 1, 2006 Federal Register (71 FR 69624). 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) 2007; payment for covered outpatient drugs and biologicals; payment for renal dialysis services; and policies related to independent diagnostic testing facilities (IDTFs). The final rule with comment period also updated the list of certain services subject to the physician self-referral prohibitions.
