In the context of Part 2, which of the following constitutes 'federally assisted'?

• A. Certified as a Medicare provider
• B. Authorized to conduct methadone maintenance treatment
• C. Registered with the DEA
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Under 42 CFR Part 2, “federally assisted” includes programs that receive federal funds or are regulated by federal law. Being certified as a Medicare provider means the program can bill a federal program and receives federal financial support. Authorization to conduct methadone maintenance treatment places the program under federal regulatory oversight. Holding a DEA registration shows federal authorization to handle controlled substances. Each of these demonstrates federal involvement, so the option that encompasses all of them correctly identifies what counts as federally assisted.
