Code of Federal Regulations Title 42. Public Health § 42.423.668 Reopening of a contract determination or decision of a hearing officer or the Administrator

(a) Contract determination. CMS may reopen and revise an initial determination upon its own motion.

(b)   1 Decision of hearing officer. A decision of a hearing officer that is unfavorable to any party and is otherwise final may be reopened and revised by the hearing officer upon the officer's own motion within 1 year of the notice of the hearing decision. Another hearing officer designated by CMS may reopen and revise the decision if the hearing officer who issued the decision is unavailable.

¹ The official CFR appears to have inadvertently executed the amendment at 75 FR 19678 to this subsection rather than to subsection (a).

(c) Decision of Administrator. A decision by the Administrator that is otherwise final may be reopened and revised by the Administrator upon the Administrator's own motion within 1 year of the notice of the Administrator's decision.

(d) Notices.
