Omnibus Burden Reduction (Medicare Conditions of Participation) Final Rule CMS-3346-F Part 1
The Omnibus Burden Reduction for Medicare Conditions of Participation, Final Rule, was issued September 26, 2019 by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and removes Medicare regulations identified as unnecessary, outdated, or difficult to sustain on hospitals and other healthcare providers.
The new ruling contributes to CMS's Patients over Paperwork initiative by saving providers an estimated 4.4 million hours of time previously spent on paperwork with an overall total projected savings to providers of $800 million annually.
