Download as PDF jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 86 / Monday, May 4, 2020 / Rules and Regulations provided by the group health plan (e.g., doctors’ visits or filled prescriptions) that occurred on or before April 30, 2020 would be covered under the terms of the plan. The plan would not be obligated to cover benefits or services that occurred after April 2020. Example 5 (Claims for medical treatment under a group health plan). (i) Facts. Individual D is a participant in a group health plan. On March 1, 2020, Individual D received medical treatment for a condition covered under the plan, but a claim relating to the medical treatment was not submitted until April 1, 2021. Under the plan, claims must be submitted within 365 days of the participant’s receipt of the medical treatment. Was Individual D’s claim timely? (ii) Conclusion. Yes. For purposes of determining the 365-day period applicable to Individual D’s claim, the Outbreak Period is disregarded. Therefore, Individual D’s last day to submit a claim is 365 days after June 29, 2020, which is June 29, 2021, so Individual D’s claim was timely. Example 6 (Internal appeal— disability plan). (i) Facts. Individual E received a notification of an adverse benefit determination from Individual E’s disability plan on January 28, 2020. The notification advised Individual E that there are 180 days within which to file an appeal. What is Individual E’s appeal deadline? (ii) Conclusion. When determining the 180-day period within which Individual E’s appeal must be filed, the Outbreak Period is disregarded. Therefore, Individual E’s last day to submit an appeal is 148 days (180¥32 days following January 28 to March 1) after June 29, 2020, which is November 24, 2020. Example 7 (Internal appeal— employee pension benefit plan). (i) Facts. Individual F received a notice of adverse benefit determination from Individual F’s 401(k) plan on April 15, 2020. The notification advised Individual F that there are 60 days within which to file an appeal. What is Individual F’s appeal deadline? (ii) Conclusion. When determining the 60-day period within which Individual F’s appeal must be filed, the Outbreak Period is disregarded. Therefore, Individual F’s last day to submit an appeal is 60 days after June 29, 2020, which is August 28, 2020.

32 CFR Part 199


Double Coverage

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This technical amendment is being published to correct an 
error that was codified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in 
2003. A paragraph was inadvertently duplicated in 2003 and is now being 
removed.

DATES: This technical amendment is effective May 4, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia Toppings, 571-372-0485.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 30, 2003 (68 FR 23030-23034), the 
Department of Defense published a final rule titled ``TRICARE Program; 
Eligibility and Payment Procedures for Civilian Health and Medical 
Program of the Uniformed Services Beneficiaries Age 65 and Over,'' 
which amended 32 CFR part 199.
    On page 23032, an amendatory instruction requested to amend Sec.  
199.8 by ``redesignating paragraph (c)(5) as (c)(6) and the second 
paragraph (c)(4) as (c)(5).''
    The wording of this amendatory instruction led to a codification 
error which is still present in the CFR.
    In 32 CFR 199.8, paragraphs (c)(5) and (c)(6) contain identical 
text. Only one of the paragraphs should remain in the CFR. Therefore, 
DoD is publishing this technical amendment to remove paragraph (c)(6) 
from 32 CFR 199.8.
    It has been determined that publication of this CFR amendment for 
public comment is impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to public 
interest since it is correcting a technical error.
    This rule is not significant under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review.'' Therefore, E.O. 13771, ``Reducing 
Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs,'' does not apply.

List of Subjects in 32 CFR Part 199

    Claims, Dental health, Health care, Health insurance, Individuals 
with disabilities, Mental health, Mental health parity, Military 
personnel.

    Accordingly, 32 CFR part 199 is amended as follows:
