HFMA Comments on Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation of the Medicare Program (Executive Order 14192) RFI

In a June 10, 2025, comment letter, HFMA submitted recommendations pertaining to the Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation of the Medicare Program (Executive Order 14192) – Request for Information, which states the Administration policy to significantly reduce the private expenditures required to comply with Federal regulations to secure America’s economic prosperity and national security and the highest possible quality of life for each citizen. CMS is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to solicit public feedback for potential changes to Medicare regulations, with the goal of reducing the costly private healthcare expenditures required to comply with Federal regulations.

Through this RFI, CMS seeks public input on approaches and opportunities to streamline regulations and reduce administrative burdens on providers, suppliers, beneficiaries, Medicare Advantage and Part D plans, and other stakeholders participating in the Medicare program. In line with ongoing efforts to reduce unnecessary administrative burdens and costs, and create a more efficient healthcare system, CMS requests information to better understand any challenges to identify opportunities for deregulation, while also ensuring the continued delivery of high-quality care to beneficiaries. CMS is seeking specific information from healthcare providers, researchers, stakeholders, health and drug plans, and other members of the public to inform the development and implementation of strategies to support the goals of the Executive Order.

HFMA respectfully submitted considerations to CMS for consideration under the topics of: Streamlining Regulatory Requirements, Opportunities to Reduce Administrative Burden of Reporting and Documentation, Identification of Duplicative Requirements and Additional Recommendations.
