This joint resolution seeks to exercise congressional authority under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code , to disapprove a specific rule. The rule, issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) within the Department of Health and Human Services, pertains to the "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model." By passing this resolution, Congress aims to prevent the CMS rule from having any legal force or effect. This action would effectively block the implementation of prior authorization requirements for certain services under the WISeR Model in Medicare, as outlined in the disapproved rule.
