What is CMS' role in protecting patient information?
CMS is taking additional steps to provide payers and patients opportunities and information to protect patient data and make informed decisions about sharing patient health information with third parties. For instance, as part of this final rule a payer may ask third-party application developers to attest to certain privacy provisions, such as whether their privacy policy specifies secondary data uses, and inform patients about those attestations. CMS is also working with payers to provide information they can use to educate patients about sharing their health information with third parties, and the role of federal partners like the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in protecting their rights.
What is CMS 9115-F?
Overview#N#The Interoperability and Patient Access final rule (CMS-9115-F) delivers on the Administration’s promise to put patients first, giving them access to their health information when they need it most and in a way they can best use it. As part of the Trump Administration’s MyHealthEData initiative, this final rule is focused on driving interoperability and patient access to health information by liberating patient data using CMS authority to regulate Medicare Advantage (MA), Medicaid, CHIP, and Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers on the Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs).
What is CMS data exchange?
Payer-to-Payer Data Exchange: CMS-regulated payers are required to exchange certain patient clinical data (specifically the U.S. Core Data for Interoperability (USCDI) version 1 data set) at the patient’s request, allowing the patient to take their information with them as they move from payer to payer over time to help create a cumulative health record with their current payer. Having a patient’s health information in one place will facilitate informed decision-making, efficient care, and ultimately can lead to better health outcomes. These payers are required to implement a process for this data exchange beginning January 1, 2022 (for QHP issuers on the FFEs, plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2022).
What is patient access API?
Patient Access API: CMS-regulated payers, specifically MA organizations, Medicaid Fee-for-Service (FFS) programs, Medicaid managed care plans, CHIP FFS programs, CHIP managed care entities, and QHP issuers on the FFEs, excluding issuers offering only Stand-alone dental plans (SADPs) and QHP issuers offering coverage in the Federally-facilitated Small Business Health Options Program (FF-SHOP), are required to implement and maintain a secure, standards-based (HL7 FHIR Release 4.0.1) API that allows patients to easily access their claims and encounter information, including cost, as well as a defined sub-set of their clinical information through third-party applications of their choice. Claims data, used in conjunction with clinical data, can offer a broader and more holistic understanding of an individual’s interactions with the healthcare system, leading to better decision-making and better health outcomes. These payers are required to implement the Patient Access API beginning January 1, 2021 (for QHP issuers on the FFEs, plan years beginning on or after January 1, 2021).
When is the provider directory API required for MA?
MA organizations, Medicaid and CHIP FFS programs, Medicaid managed care plans, and CHIP managed care entities are required to implement the Provider Directory API by January 1, 2021. QHP issuers on the FFEs are already required to make provider directory information available in a specified, machine-readable format.
When will CMS start reporting?
Digital Contact Information: CMS will begin publicly reporting in late 2020 those providers who do not list or update their digital contact information in the National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES). This includes providing digital contact information such as secure digital endpoints like a Direct Address and/or a FHIR API endpoint. Making the list of providers who do not provide this digital contact information public will encourage providers to make this valuable, secure contact information necessary to facilitate care coordination and data exchange easily accessible.
When will CMS report CAHs?
Public Reporting and Information Blocking: Beginning in late 2020, and starting with data collected for the 2019 performance year data, CMS will publicly report eligible clinicians, hospitals, and critical access hospitals (CAHs) that may be information blocking based on how they attested to certain Promoting Interoperability Program requirements. Knowing which providers may have attested can help patients choose providers more likely to support electronic access to their health information.
