Correction

The October 2000 issue of Hospital Home Health stated incorrectly that Medicare fiscal intermediary (FI) United Government Services (UGS) does not accept electronic signatures. According to UGS medical director James Cope, MD, UGS is "absolutely accepting electronic signatures," and has been doing so for some time. The FI, located in Milwaukee, reviews agency policies on electronic signatures on a case-by-case basis, Cope says. HHH regrets the error.
