        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This final rule will specify the criteria HCFA will use to determine if a facility furnishing dialysis services to patients with end-stage renal disease qualifies for a higher payment under an exception to the prospectively determined payment rate; and the procedures used to evaluate ESRD payment exceptions requests. The rule will also revise the way HCFA computes acquisition costs for organs that are transplanted into Medicare beneficiaries. The rule is part of the Department's regulatory reinvention initiative.]]></ABSTRACT>
