CMS Releases Request for Information to Help Promote Efficiency, Reduce Burden, and Advance Equity

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has released the Make Your Voice Heard Request for Information (RFI) to get your input. It wants to:

• Understand your experience, including factors which affect provider wellness
• Learn about strategies that successfully address drivers of health inequities
• Assess the impact of waivers and flexibilities provided in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency

CMS encourages comments from all interested individuals and institutions, in particular:

• Individuals serving and located in underserved communities
• All CMS stakeholders serving populations facing disparities in health and health care

The Society is reviewing the RFI and will be submitting comments. All comments are due by November 4.
