Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".
This joint resolution expresses Congress's disapproval of a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule that requires doctors to obtain prior authorization for certain medical services under the WISeR Model. The bill directly affects healthcare providers and patients by seeking to cancel the rule, which would otherwise mandate that specific services be approved before they are delivered. If passed, the provision would render the rule ineffective, preventing the new prior authorization requirements from taking effect. This action is part of a standard legislative process used to reject federal regulations without needing to pass a new law.
