This week, AAHKS submitted comments to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) for their proposed rule, Contract Year 2026 Policy and Technical Changes to the Medicare Advantage and Medicare Prescription Drug Benefit. Our comments consist of  ensuring effective and robust enforcement of utilization management and prior authorization (PA) regulations applicable to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans. Also included in our comments are data from a previously published AAHKS member survey on PA burden, research presented at the Annual Meeting and ways these burdens can be eased through currently proposed and previously passed regulations. For more information, read the letter.
