Sec. 376.370  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 the HHS Medicare officials 
responsible for the Medicare Program with respect to actions under 2 CFR 
part 376. This would include the requirement for these entities to check 
the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) and take necessary steps to 
effect this part.
