Title: Use of Repayment Plans (CMS-6032-F) 
Abstract: This rule modifies Medicare regulations to implement a provision of the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 pertaining to the use of repayment plans (also known as extended repayment schedules). Under this provision, we will grant a provider or a supplier an extended repayment schedule under certain terms and conditions as defined in the statute. The final rule establishes criteria and procedures to apply this requirement and to define the concepts of "hardship" and "extreme hardship."
