| Abstract: | This final rule revises the Medicare and Medicaid regulations that are affected by section 2314 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 and sections 9110 and 9509 of the Consolidation Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. Those provisions amended sections 1861(v)(1) and 1902(a)(13) of the Social Security Act. This rule describes new limitations on the valuation of assets acquired as the result of changes in ownership occurring on or after July 18, 1984. These changes affect hospitals and skilled nursing facilities under the Medicare program and hospitals, nursing facilities, and intermediate care facilities for the mentally retarded under the Medicaid program. |
