There are three core areas where regulatory change would provide increased economic savings, more efficient processing of claims and payment of benefits, more choices and quicker access to healthcare, and stronger anti-fraud efforts as well as fine tuning to reflect statutory changes and administrative practices. The three core areas are as follows: Required Response Times, Authorization for Emergency Care, and Program Integrity.
