Sec.  76.460  What are the obligations of Medicare carriers and 

intermediaries?



    Because Medicare carriers, intermediaries and other Medicare 

contractors undertake responsibilities on behalf of the Medicare program 

(Title XVIII of the Social Security Act), these entities assume the same 

obligations and responsibilities as Medicare agency officials with 

respect to actions under 45 CFR part 76. This would include these 

entities checking the EPLS and taking necessary steps to effectuate this 

part.
