SUMMARY AS OF:
9/23/1999--Introduced.

Graduate Medical Education Fair Technical Amendment Act of 1999 - Increases each limitation regarding the number of residents or interns for which graduate medical education (GME) payments may be made under title XVIII (Medicare) of the Social Security Act by the number of applicable residents who were GME participants at a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facility and subsequently transferred to a non-VA facility between January 1, 1997, and July 31, 1998, because the residents or interns medical residency program would lose its accreditation if such program continued to train residents at the VA facility.
