  • Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Request for Information: Make your voice heard!

    By: Whitney Meyerhoeffer Whitney Meyerhoeffer , 2 months ago
    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is committed to engaging with partners, communities, and individuals across the health system to understand their experiences with CMS payment policies and quality programs, particularly how existing and proposed CMS payment policies and quality programs impact the experience of healthcare. Through this RFI, CMS is seeking public input on accessing healthcare and related challenges, understanding provider experiences, advancing health equity, and assessing the impact of waivers and flexibilities provided in response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency (PHE). CMS will use the comments received in response to this RFI to identify potential opportunities for improvement and increased efficiencies across CMS policies, programs, and practices. In addition, CMS hopes to learn how specific policies have benefited providers, practices, and the people we serve as we work to continually improve our programs.
