(1) The prohibition against taking into account that a beneficiary who is covered or seeks to be covered under the plan is entitled to Medicare on the basis of ESRD, age, or disability, or eligible on the basis of ESRD.
(2) The nondifferentiation clause for individuals with ESRD.
(3) The equal benefits clause for the working aged.
(4) The obligation to refund conditional Medicare primary payments.
