Fed Regist. 1981 Jan 19;46(12 Pt 1):5003-6.
Current Department regulations for the Medicaid and Public Health Service programs provide that no Federal funds are available for hysterectomies unless the woman or her representative has signed an acknowledgment that she was informed that the operation would make her sterile. These amended rules would eliminate the "acknowledgment requirement" in certain situations where the patient is already sterile or an emergency situation exists. We will also clarifying certain ambiguities. The purpose of the proposed regulations is to remove an unnecessary administrative burden created by the current requirements.
当前医疗补助和公共卫生服务项目的部门规定指出，除非该女性或其代表已签署一份确认书，表明她已被告知该手术将使其绝育，否则联邦资金不得用于子宫切除术。这些修订后的规定将在某些情况下取消“确认要求”，即患者已经绝育或存在紧急情况。我们还将澄清某些模糊之处。拟议法规的目的是消除当前要求所造成的不必要行政负担。
