CMS Issues Final 2019 Payment Notice Rule to Increase Access to Affordable Health Plans for Americans Suffering from High Obamacare Premiums
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; Apr 9, 2018
Today, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued the HHS Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2019. The final rule will mitigate the harmful impacts of Obamacare and empower states to regulate their insurance market. The rule will do this by advancing the Administration’s goals to increase state flexibility, improve affordability, strengthen program integrity, empower consumers, promote stability, and reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens imposed by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
“Too many Americans are facing skyrocketing premiums that they can’t afford and every year consumers are faced with the threat of fewer choices. This rule gives states new tools to stabilize their health insurance markets and empower citizens to find coverage that fits their families’ needs and budgets,” said CMS Administrator Seema Verma.

HHS Releases a New Resource to Help Individuals Access and Use Their Health Information
U.S. Department of Health & Human Services; Apr 4, 2018
The US Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) today released the ONC Guide to Getting and Using your Health Records, a new online resource for individuals, patients, and caregivers.
This new resource supports both the 21st Century Cures Act goal of empowering patients and improving patients’ access to their electronic health information and the recently announced MyHealthEData initiative. The new initiative, led by the White House Office of American Innovation and supported by ONC, empowers patients by giving them control of their healthcare information. Other participants in the effort include the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, National Institutes of Health, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
“It’s important that patients and their caregivers have access to their own health information so they can make decisions about their care and treatments,” said Don Rucker, M.D., national coordinator for health information technology. “This guide will help answer some of the questions that patients may have when asking for their health information.”

Facebook, Hospitals Explored Data Sharing Project
Mary Butler for Journal of AHIMA; Apr 10, 2018
Facebook recently hit the pause button on a secret data-sharing plan with top hospitals and the American College of Cardiology in light of reports that the personal data of over 87 million Facebook users was compromised by the political research firm Cambridge Analytica.
An interventional cardiologist, working out of Facebook’s experimental projects department, approached hospitals including Stanford University School of Medicine to gauge interest in sharing anonymized data sets with the social network, according to a report by CNBC. The ultimate goal of the project was to find a way to combine the data sets through an anonymizing process called “hashing” to match patients in both data sets, thereby finding new ways to identify developing heart health issues and deliver care more quickly, according to the report.
“Facebook’s pitch, according to two people who heard it and one who is familiar with the project, was to combine what a health system knows about its patients (such as: person has heart disease, is age 50, takes 2 medications and made 3 trips to the hospital this year) with what Facebook knows (such as: user is age 50, married with 3 kids, English isn’t a primary language, actively engages with the community by sending a lot of messages),” the report stated.
