The House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Chairman Pat Tiberi
(R-OH) announced a new initiative to identify and modify Medicare regulations
that are adversely affecting patient care. The program, “The Medicare Red Tape Relief Project,” will rely on stakeholders and aim to identify opportunities to
reduce legislative and regulatory burdens on Medicare providers.
The program “will help members of our committee work
hand-in-hand with doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals to
identify areas where we can eliminate red tape and burdensome mandates that are
driving up costs in the Medicare program,” Chairman Tiberi said in a statement
announcing the initiative.
Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX)
applauded the announcement, saying that regulatory relief is of vital
importance as more seniors age into the Medicare program and costs continue to
rise.
AHCA looks forward to working with Chairman Tiberi toward
his goal of identifying unnecessary regulations and improving patient care.
