WEDI encourages health plans, providers, clearinghouses, and others to complete a 10-minute SURVEY on the CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F). The survey seeks to determine: (i) Progress made on implementation; (ii) Challenges encountered during the implementation process; (iii) Expected implementation costs; and (iv) Resources necessary to assist implementation decisions and efforts. The survey will close on Feb. 14th. Results from the survey will be used to make recommendations to CMS, inform stakeholders, and assist WEDI as we develop industry guidance and education. | |

The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to modify the HIPAA Security Rule to strengthen cybersecurity protections for electronic protected health information. The NPRM includes complex and potentially challenging requirements as it seeks to strengthen cybersecurity by updating the current Security Rule and address ever-increasing cybersecurity threats to the health care sector.
Receive additional information about the NPRM and join fellow WEDI members to share your thoughts and insight on this proposed rule as WEDI develops comments for OCR.
