Comment Letter: ONC Request for Information on Electronic Prior Authorization Standards, Implementation Specifications, and Certification Criteria
March 25, 2022
Executives for Health Innovation (EHI) strongly supports efforts to advance electronic prior authorization (ePA) and we commend ONC for continued attention on this issue. While ONC’s Certification Program is an important aspect, it has not, to date, included health payer health IT systems. We urge ONC to continue to work with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to advance a coordinated approach to ePA.
