CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule
CMS-0057-F
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F). The rule builds on the foundation of the CMS Interoperability and Patient Access rule and requires that health insurance plans, including Medicare Advantage and Medicaid plans, are required to implement and maintain FHIR-based APIs to improve the electronic exchange of health information and streamline prior authorization, provider access, and payer to payer exchange.
The Final Rule will reduce the burden on patients, providers and payers, saving approximately $15B over 10 years.
If you have questions on how the Final Rule may impact your organization, please reach out to Shreya Patel, Chief Policy and Privacy Officer at shreya.patel@mihin.org.
