A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".

This joint resolution aims to exercise congressional disapproval, under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of a specific rule promulgated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). The targeted rule, titled "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model," introduces new prior authorization requirements for certain Medicare services. The Government Accountability Office has confirmed this notice constitutes a rule under the Congressional Review Act. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively nullify the CMS rule, preventing its implementation and ensuring it has no legal force or effect. This action reflects a legislative intent to block the specific prior authorization model proposed by CMS, thereby maintaining the current status quo regarding these Medicare services.
