CMS released several interim and final rules in the past month. As the new year starts and there is a change in administration, the pace of new guidance releases is unlikely to slow down. If you are having trouble keeping up, consider the BluePeak Guidance Monitor which provides a log of guidance including HPMS memos, guidance from CMS’ website, Federal Register, and the Office of Management and Budget as well as summaries of key guidance applicable to your organization.
