PROVIDER REIMBURSEMENT MANUAL-PART I

Provider Reimbursement Manual
Part I

The files below recreate a relatively complete version of the Provider Reimbursement Manual Part I. A few pages here and there that were never produced in Microsoft Word 97 format (e.g., certain charts, graphs, diagrams) could not be included. Otherwise, every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of these documents in electronic form. However, the paper version is considered the official version and takes precedence if any discrepancies occur.
