Title: Part II--Regulatory Provisions To Promote Program Efficiency, Transparency, and Burden Reduction (CMS-3267-F)
Abstract: This final rule identifies and implements reforms in Medicare regulations that CMS has identified as unnecessary, obsolete, or excessively burdensome on health care providers and beneficiaries. This rule increases the ability of health care professionals to devote resources to improving patient care, by eliminating or reducing requirements that impede quality patient care or that divert resources away from providing high-quality patient care. This is one of several rules that CMS is proposing to achieve regulatory reforms under Executive Order 13563 on Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review and the Department's Plan for Retrospective Review of Existing Rules.
