Policy Snapshot

February 23, 2024

In January, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released a final rule to enhance access to health information and streamline prior authorization processes for medical items and services. 

CMS’ Office of Burden Reduction & Health Informatics will host a virtual education session on March 26, 2024, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM ET on the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization final rule. Questions can be submitted beforehand via the registration form. Registration will remain open through March 25; however, please register by March 19 to ensure consideration of any submitted questions.

This event will provide an opportunity for participants to:

  • Learn about the provisions in the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization final rule
  • Hear how the final rule builds on current CMS interoperability policies

Space is limited, so early registration is encouraged. If you receive a message indicating that the event is full, please keep an eye out for an email after the event that will contain a link to both a recording of the presentation as well as a transcript.

To learn more, review the fact sheet and final rule. Please reach out to CMSInteroperability@cms.hhs.gov with any additional questions.
