The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is inviting the public to comment on a proposed information collection related to Medicare Part C. CMS published a notice in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, which requires federal agencies to collect public input on information collections. The information collected will help CMS evaluate compliance with Medicare Utilization Management (UM) requirements and select organizations for UM audits. Public comments are due by January 22, 2025, and further details can be accessed through the CMS website.
Simple Explanation
CMS wants people to tell them what they think about some new stuff they want to ask about Medicare. This is to make sure they’re doing things right and choosing the best groups to check if their rules are followed.
