Overview of the CMS Interoperability Standards & Prior Authorization for Drugs Proposed Rule Webinar – April 16

Thursday, April 16 from 12–1 pm ET

Register for this webinar here: updated announcement.

CMS recently published the CMS Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs proposed rule (CMS-0062-P), which includes important proposals to streamline drug prior authorization and modernize health data exchange.  This rule builds on prior CMS interoperability efforts and proposes to:

• Require impacted payers to support electronic prior authorization for drugs
• Improve timeliness of prior authorization decisions
• Increase transparency into the drug prior authorization process
• Advance the use of modern health IT standards, including HL7® FHIR®

To help the public better understand these proposals and their potential impact, CMS will host an informational webinar to provide an overview of the proposed rule and highlight key provisions, including proposed updates to interoperability standards and prior authorization requirements.  We encourage all interested parties to attend and learn more about how these proposals may affect patients, payers, providers, and the broader health care system.
