Demystifying the CMS Regulatory Process
The Health Law Section is pleased to announce that Thomas Barker, Foley, Hoag, LLP, will be making a Brown Bag presentation for the BBA. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is arguably the single most important agency of the federal government for health care providers and life sciences practitioners. Yet for many providers and attorneys, the CMS regulatory process is opaque and mysterious. This Brown Bag presentation will demystify the CMS regulatory process for attendees. Mr. Barker will explain how CMS begins the regulatation drafting process, the role of career and political staff, the HHS regulatory clearance process, and the clearance process throughout the Executive Branch. In addition, attendees will learn the multiple opportunities that providers and practitioners have to influence the regulatory process. Mr. Barker will share his unique insights after spending eight years at CMS and HHS. |
