HFMA Submits Recommendations to Medicare Red Tape Relief Project
In July 2017, Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Chairman Pat Tiberi (R-OH) announced a new initiative—known as the “Medicare Red Tape Relief Project,”—designed to provide “relief from the regulations and mandates that impede innovation, drive up costs, and ultimately stand in the way of delivering better care for Medicare beneficiaries.” The Committee sought input from the healthcare field and will identify opportunities to reduce legislative and regulatory burdens on Medicare providers, improving the efficiency and quality of the Medicare program for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
