AGENCY: Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA), HHS.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document makes a technical amendment to a Medicaid 
regulation under 42 CFR 440.40(c) to restore an inadvertent omission of 
a paragraph designation related to family planning services and 
supplies for individuals of child-bearing age.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 10, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Linda Tavener, [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  On November 10, 1994, we published a final 
rule in the Federal Register (59 FR 56116) related to Survey, 
Certification and Enforcement of Skilled Nursing Facilities and Nursing 
Facilities. In that rule, we inadvertently omitted a heading and 
reserved designation of Sec. 440.40(c). This paragraph designation must 
be included to show that family planning services and supplies for 
individuals of child-bearing age are covered Medicaid services under 
Sec. 440.40. At the present time, there are no Federal regulations 
regarding these services but we are reserving this paragraph for future 
use. The States can define these services as they see appropriate.
