Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Summary
The joint resolution rejects a rule issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that would require prior authorization for selected services as part of the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) model. By disapproving the rule, Congress would prevent it from taking effect, impacting Medicare beneficiaries, health‑care providers, and the CMS program. Supporters say the rule would create unnecessary administrative burdens.
