Helping healthcare payers prepare for CMS’ final Interoperability and Patient Access rule
February 2021
In March 2020, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released its final Interoperability and Patient Access rule (CMS-9115-F), which places new requirements to facilitate the electronic exchange of healthcare data. This has created rapid change across the healthcare industry, with payers and providers, among others, looking for ways to interpret and prepare.
PwC has identified leading practices and perspectives on critical components and considerations for successfully implementing the new requirements laid out in CMS’ final rule. Our framework addresses questions and challenges that payers face as they navigate complexity and build out their broader strategy, target state and overall interoperability roadmap.
Our comprehensive framework assesses a payer’s interoperability efforts across five dimensions:
- Strategy and governance
- Program design
- Operational readiness
- Technology and data
- Compliance, security and privacy
