Fed Regist. 1984 Jun 7;49(111):23620-6.
These regulations conform existing Medicare regulations to a statutory change that expanded Medicare coverage of services furnished by optometrists to include examination services related to the condition of aphakia (absence of the natural crystalline lens of the eye). Existing regulations limit coverage of optometrists' services to dispensing services in connection with the actual fitting and provision of prosthetic lenses. The regulations are based on section 937 of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-499).
这些规定使现有的医疗保险规定符合一项法定变更，该变更扩大了医疗保险对验光师提供服务的覆盖范围，将与无晶状体（眼睛天然晶状体缺失）状况相关的检查服务纳入其中。现有规定将验光师服务的覆盖范围限制在与实际装配和提供人工晶状体相关的配镜服务上。这些规定基于1980年《综合预算协调法》（公法96 - 499）第937条。
