What is CMS Interoperability?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has mandated the Interoperability and Patient Access final rule (CMS-9115-F). This rule empowers patients, by giving them secure access to their health information. This is great news for our members.
Please go to the CMS website to learn more about CMS interoperability.
