A Joint Resolution for Congressional Disapproval of a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Rule

This joint resolution seeks to overturn a new rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that would introduce prior authorization requirements for certain medical services under the WISeR (Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction) model. Under the CMS rule, providers would need to obtain approval from Medicare before delivering select services, with the goal of reducing unnecessary or inappropriate treatments. If this resolution is enacted, it would prevent the rule from taking effect, so Medicare patients and providers would not face the added step of prior authorization for these particular services.
