CFR Correction

    In Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 400 to 429, 
revised as of October 1, 1993, on page 104, the introductory text of 
Sec. 405.1720 should read as follows:


Sec. 405.1720  Condition of participation-- rehabilitation program.

    At a minimum, a rehabilitation agency provides physical therapy or 
speech pathology services, and a rehabilitation program that in 
addition to physical therapy or speech pathology services, includes 
social or vocational adjustment services by making provision for 
special, qualified staff to evaluate the social or vocational factors 
involved in a patient's rehabilitation, to counsel and advise on social 
or vocational problems arising from the patient's illness or injury, 
and to make appropriate referrals for required services.When hospitals, 
skilled nursing facilities, or Medicaid nursing facilities obtain 
services for their patients from the agency this requirement does not 
apply to those patients.
