0938-AW04 202510 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 0938 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services CMS 0900 Department of Health and Human Services HHS Cutting Administrative Requirements for Excellence in Patient Care (CMS-3484)

This proposed rule would enhance direct patient care by modernizing the Conditions of Participation, Conditions for Coverage, and Requirements for Medicare- and Medicaid-participating providers and suppliers, reducing burden and increasing flexibility to deliver high quality care. CMS identified obsolete, outdated, and excessively burdensome regulations that can be eliminated or reformed to enhance the effectiveness of facility operations and services and free up resources that health care providers could otherwise use to improve patient health and safety.
