§ 402.304 Approval of request for reinstatement.

(a) If the initiating agency grants a request for reinstatement, the initiating agency -

(2) Notifies appropriate Federal and State agencies, and, to the extent possible, all others that were originally notified of the exclusion, that the person is reinstated into the Medicare program.
