Title: Reducing Provider and Patient Burden, and Promoting Patients' Electronic Access to Health Information (CMS-9123) 
Abstract:

This rule would place new requirements on Medicare Advantage organizations, Medicaid and CHIP Managed Care plans, Medicaid and CHIP fee-for-service State agencies, Basic Health Program (BHP) Standard Health Plans, and Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) in the Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs) to improve the electronic exchange of health care data, and streamline processes related to prior authorization. The rule would also revise requirements that all Medicare- and Medicaid-participating providers and suppliers must meet for continued participation in the programs by requiring increased patient electronic access to their health care information, and improve the electronic exchange of health information among providers and suppliers.
