This week, our In Focus comes from an HMA cross-cutting subject matter team, who have updated a core set of federal policy slides that analyzes recent federal policy actions following the Presidential and Congressional elections. It includes an analysis of President Biden’s $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief legislation currently in development and recent CMS regulatory and administrative actions. Specifically, the analysis looks at:
- 2020 Election Outcome
- Key Nominations and Appointments
- Current Legislative Efforts to Respond to the COVID-19 pandemic
- Presidential Executive Orders
- CMS Regulations Under Review
- CMMI Models Under Review or Likely to be Reviewed
- Trump Administration Approved Medicaid Waivers in Question
- Noteworthy CMS/HHS Correspondence to States
A public version of the slides can be found here.
