    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from the Department of Health and Human Services is delaying the effective date of a new rule concerning Medicare Part D. Originally set to take effect on February 1, 2021, the rule will now start on March 30, 2021. This delay follows a Presidential memorandum on January 20, 2021, aiming to freeze new regulations for 60 days. The rule in question will establish a new electronic standard for how prescribers and insurers manage authorizations for prescription drugs under Medicare Part D.

    The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting public comments on their plan to collect information as part of a proposed action under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). This announcement is a chance for the public to share thoughts on the necessity and usefulness of the information collection, how burdensome it is, and suggestions for improving it. Comments can be submitted by February 14, 2025, and the forms are mainly for documenting which medications are covered by Medicare Part D for hospice patients. This information helps ensure that Medicare Part D isn't used for drugs that should be covered by hospice care under Medicare Part A.
