The proposed rule was published in the July 31, 2024, issue of the Federal Register. If finalized, policies in the proposed rule generally would take effect on January 1, 2025. The 60-day comment period ends at close of business on September 9, 2024. HFMA is providing a summary in three parts. Part I covers sections I through III.O (except for Section III.G: Medicare Shared Savings Program Requirements) and the Regulatory Impact Analysis.
