TI  - Medicare program; carrier jurisdiction for claims for durable medical equipment, 
      prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS)--HCFA. Final rule.
PG  - 60789-97
AB  - This final rule would address the provisions of section 1834(a)(12) of the Social 
      Security Act that authorizes us to designate one carrier for one or more regions 
      to process all claims within that region. It incorporates in regulations the four 
      designated carriers that will process claims for durable medical equipment, 
      prosthetics, orthotics, supplies and certain other items covered under Part B of 
      Medicare. We expect the above changes to lead to more efficient and economical 
      administration of the Medicare program.
