In December 2022, CMS proposed two rules that aim to align data standards across payers and healthcare providers to streamline HIE interoperability.
Two new proposed rules from The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) aim to advance health information exchange (HIE) interoperability and streamline prior authorization processes.
The proposed rules reflect collaboration between CMS and ONC to ensure that providers and payers adopt open-industry standards to advance interoperability, according to a HealthITBuzz blog post.
CMS’s Advancing Interoperability and Improving Prior Authorization Processes proposed rule, published on December 13, builds on its 2020 Patient Access and Interoperability rule.
