CMS Seeks Input to Streamline Medicare Regulations 

– Comment by June 10. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit public feedback on potential changes to Medicare regulations with the goal of reducing the expenditures required to comply with Federal regulations. Examples of questions they would like input on include:

  • Are there documentation or reporting requirements within the Medicare program that are overly complex or redundant?
  • How can Medicare better align its requirements with best practices and industry standards?
  • Are there existing regulatory requirements that could be waived, modified, or streamlined to reduce administrative burdens?

Healthcare providers, researchers, stakeholders, health and drug plans, and other members of the public should submit all comments in response to this RFI through the online submission form.  For assistance or technical problems related to this form, please send an email to: patientsoverpaperwork@cms.hhs.gov.
