This Correcting Amendment makes the following changes to the Code of Federal Regulations, 42 §CFR 410.33, "Independent diagnostic testing facility":

  • Revises §410.33(a)(2), "Exceptions," to exclude certain diagnostic tests from §410.33(g), "Application certifications standards," and §410.33(h), "Failure to meet standards"; and


  • Removes language from §410.33(g)(6) that required independent diagnostic testing facilities to list serial numbers on their comprehensive liability insurance policies.


These changes are effective immediately.
