Sec. 475.106  Prohibition against contracting with payor organizations.

    Payor organizations are not eligible to become QIOs for the area in 
which they make payments until November 15, 1984. If no QIO contract for 
an area is awarded before November 15, 1984, a payor organization will 
be determined eligible by CMS, if an eligible organization that is not a 
payor organization is unavailable at that time. CMS may determine the 
unavailability of nonpayor organizations based on the lack of response 
to an appropriate Request for Proposal.
