Hello All,

As we have previously informed you, CMS has published a Request for Information (RFI) to streamline processes for providers and beneficiaries. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-06-11/pdf/2019-12215.pdf

 

Of particular interest to us are the items pasted below, especially the bullets below:

 

“We are particularly interested in recommendations on how CMS could:

• Improve the accessibility and presentation of CMS requirements for quality reporting, coverage, documentation, or prior-authorization;

• Address specific policies or requirements that are overly burdensome, not achievable, or cause unintended consequences in a rural setting;

• Clarify or simplify regulations or operations that pose challenges for beneficiaries dually enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid and those who care for such beneficiaries; and

• Simplify beneficiary enrollment and eligibility determination across programs.

We are requesting respondents provide complete, clear, and concise comments that include, where practicable, data and specific examples.”

 

If you have any ideas, data or specific examples that you would like to share with us to include in our comments, please share with me at xxxxxx@ncoa.org. This is an opportunity to share with CMS to improve enrollment and programs for the duals population.

 

Thanks,

 

Leslie
