Fed Regist. 1983 Feb 18;48(35):7172-6.
These regulations amend the interim final Medicare rules published on October 1, 1982, that implement section 113 of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (Pub. L. 97-248). Those regulations provide that Medicare will pay on a reasonable charge basis for the services of a physician who actively assists the physician in charge of a case in performing a surgical procedure (i.e., an assistant at surgery) in teaching hospitals only under certain specific conditions. These regulations add as a result of public comments a new condition under which assistants at surgery may be reimbursed. They also clarify the rules for determining the amount of payment for services furnished by assistants at surgery in all settings.
这些规定修订了1982年10月1日发布的临时最终医疗保险规则，该规则实施了1982年《税收公平与财政责任法》（公法97 - 248）第113条。这些规定指出，医疗保险仅在某些特定条件下，才会以合理收费为基础，向在教学医院积极协助主刀医生进行外科手术的医生（即手术助手）支付费用。由于公众意见，这些规定新增了一项手术助手可获报销的条件。它们还阐明了在所有情况下确定手术助手提供服务的支付金额的规则。
