  • Title: Medicare program; payment to health maintenance organizations and competitive medical plans--HCFA. Final rules with comment period.
    Journal: Fed Regist; 1985 Jan 10; 50(7):1314-418. PubMed ID: 10270030.
    Abstract:
    These regulations implement section 114 of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 by authorizing Medicare reimbursement for health care services to eligible health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and competitive medical plans (CMPs) on a prospective basis for those entities that have a risk contract or on a reasonable cost basis for those that have a cost contract. The regulations set forth the requirements that an entity must meet in order to be: Eligible to enter into a Medicare contract (either risk or reasonable cost) as an eligible organization; and Reimbursed by Medicare on a capitation basis (either prospectively or retrospectively) for items and services furnished to Medicare enrollees. In addition, these regulations implement sections 2322 and 2350 (b) and (c) of Pub. L. 98-369 (Deficit Reduction Act of 1984), which further amended the Social Security Act concerning payments to HMOs and CMPs.
