Doctors didn’t go to medical school to be buried in paperwork—and patients shouldn’t wait because of it. We’re modernizing prior authorization: faster decisions, less red tape, more time for care. The 1980s called—we’re sending the fax back. Here’s the latest on our reform efforts, with more to come: cms.gov/newsroom/blog/moving…

Providers should be able to spend their time delivering high quality care, not doing paperwork or hunting down patient’s health history from other providers. The Health Tech Ecosystem is focused on helping you get the right information when you need it. Help CMS shape the future of interconnected care. Take the pledge today: go.cms.gov/4sYbK7j

@OIGatHHS asks the question, “Will the lack of access to patient data cause harm to the patient?” They default to yes in terms of information blocking complaints because that’s nearly always the case. IB is a “priority of the White House”.

Notices of potential non-conformance will be sent out to those who are being investigated. (Curious if those will be public or not? 🤔; it sounds like they won’t be.)

One of the best ways that we can help Make America Healthy Again is by leveraging and developing our health technology. By giving patients and doctors access to personalized information in real time, we can both improve and save lives. Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Health Tech Connectathon today!

Onstage with @carinalliance and @texashealth at #HLTH2025 discussing how using open standards and digital insurance cards can streamline patient registration and kill the clipboard. Recently crossed over a million digital insurance cards shared each month—helping patients confirm their coverage up front and avoid surprises later.

Thank you @SecKennedy, @OIGatHHS, and @HHS_TechPolicy for your leadership in enforcing information blocking so all Americans can access their digital health information where, when, and how they want to achieve their own health goals. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
We will not tolerate any company that blocks your right to access your health information—or your right to share it with the trusted parties you choose.
