organizations (PROs), to acquire information necessary to fulfill their 
duties and functions and places limits on disclosure of the 
information. The QIOs are required to provide notices to the affected 
parties when disclosing information about them. These requirements 
serve to protect the rights of the affected parties. The information 
provided in these notices is used by the patients, practitioners and 
providers to: Obtain access to the data maintained and collected on 
them by the QIOs; add additional data or make changes to existing QIO 
data; and reflect in the QIO's record the reasons for the QIO's

provider, physician, or other practitioner does not agree with the

QIO subcontractor, it is within that party's rights to request 
reconsideration. The information collection requirements 42 CFR 478.18, 
478.34, 478.36, and 478.42, contain procedures for QIOs to use in 
reconsideration of initial determinations. The information requirements 
contained in these regulations are on QIOs to provide information to
