Where you live shouldn't determine the care you receive.

Through the Rural Health Transformation Program, states are strengthening maternal care with innovative, locally driven solutions—bringing healthier pregnancies, healthier babies, and better care closer to home.

The US needs to wake up and realize that the world is getting more dangerous, not less

Today, in continuation of its recent historic effort to combat #COVID19 & support of @POTUS's plans to reopen the U.S., CMS is releasing a 2nd wave of temporary regulatory waivers & rule changes to deliver expanded care & easier access to testing for our #Medicare beneficiaries.

“Administrative costs are driving up the cost of healthcare in America...We are updating our antiquated regulations to decrease burden for providers and helping bring down these increasingly escalating costs.”

[Rob Portman @robportmanOH]

I applaud the admin’s proposal to reform the Stark Law and Anti-Kickback statutes. It incorporates many of the concepts of my Medicare Care Coordination Improvement Act & is progress in our efforts to improve quality care & outcomes while reducing cost https://t.co/8pFDqfphFt

[American Hospital Association @ahahospitals]

@HHSGov today proposed modernizing the Stark Law on physician self-referral and the Anti-kickback Statute. https://t.co/D224B4mT1t #AHAToday

[Administrator Seema Verma @SeemaCMS]

.@CMSGov’s proposed Stark Law rule is putting #PatientsOverPaperwork by unleashing innovation for healthcare providers and reducing administrative burden. https://t.co/R4a022EPOc

It’s *hot* out, and it’s going to get even hotter this weekend.

Some people think about going to the beach.

Some people think about what they can do to keep their COPD/CHF patients out of the hospital.

That’s the kind of doc we serve @AledadeACO

[Administrator Seema Verma @SeemaCMS]

A recent study has found that less than half of rural women are within a 30 mile drive to a hospital with an obstetric department. @CMSGov is working to reduce these #MaternalHealth disparities & increase access to care in rural areas. #NWHW
