The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Request for Information – Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation of the Medicare Program

Streamline Regulatory Requirements

CMS Question: Are there existing regulatory requirements (including those issued through regulations but also rules, memoranda, administrative orders, guidance documents, or policy statements) that could be waived, modified, or streamlined to reduce administrative burdens without compromising patient safety or the integrity of the Medicare program?

MGMA Response: On behalf of our member medical group practices, the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) would like to thank CMS for issuing this request for information (RFI) – Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation of the Medicare Program. MGMA appreciates the Administration’s focus on removing excess and detrimental regulations that impede medical groups’ ability to operate effectively. Onerous regulatory burdens have stifled medical groups and caused a myriad of negative impact, ultimately undermining the nation’s health system.

With a membership of more than 60,000 medical practice administrators, executives, and leaders, MGMA represents more than 15,000 medical group practices ranging from small private medical practices to large national health systems representing more than 350,000 physicians. MGMA’s diverse membership uniquely situates us to offer the following policy recommendations.
