Title: Intermediary and Carrier Functions (BPO-111-F) 
Abstract: Current regulations list functions that intermediaries and carriers must perform. All intermediaries and all carriers must perform all the enumerated functions. This rule changes the regulations to bring them into greater conformance with the Medicare statute, which gives the Health Care Financing Administration flexibility to move some functions from one contractor to another to reduce inefficiency, lower cost or achieve better program administration. This rule is part of HCFA's regulatory reform initiative.
