News Briefs: CMS to publish changes in Medicare/Medicaid regs
The latest changes in Medicare and Medicaid regulations will be published quarterly, under a new plan announced by the Centers for Medi-care & Medicaid Services (CMS).
The first edition of the Quarterly Provider Update was issued in late April, but subsequent reports will be published on the first business day of each quarter — in January, April, July, and October — according to CMS administrator Tom Scully.
Each edition is to include changes from the previous quarter, the actual publication date in the Federal Register, the Federal Register reference, and a brief summary, as well as all nonregulatory changes that may affect providers.
The report is available on the CMS web site at www.cms.hhs.gov/providerupdate.
