CMS Pub. 100-16, ch. mc86c18b, § 160.1
Definition of Automobile and No-Fault Insurance
• An automobile is defined for the purposes of this instruction, as any self-propelled
land vehicle of a type that must be registered and licensed in the state in which it
is owned.
• No-Fault Insurance is insurance coverage (including a self-insured plan) that pays
for all or part of the medical expenses for injuries regardless of who may have
been responsible for causing the accident. (This insurance is sometimes called
personal injury protection (PIP), medical payments coverage, or medical expense
coverage.)

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
