Amendments to Reform ‘Burdensome’ Medicare Regulations Now Effective
On July 11, 2014, amendments designed to reform Medicare regulations that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has identified as “unnecessary, obsolete, or excessively burdensome on health care providers and suppliers” became effective.
Published as final rules in the May 12, 2014 Federal Register, the amended regulations affect a broad range of providers and suppliers, including hospitals, long-term care facilities, rural health and primary care facilities, clinical laboratories, transplant centers and organ procurement organizations, ambulatory surgical centers (ASC), and intermediate care facilities for individuals who are intellectually disabled.
