Proposed Regulatory Relief Saves $1.1 Billion for Providers

October 10, 2018 7:57 am

The Trump administration has proposed $1.1 billion in savings for the healthcare industry through annual regulatory relief. The largest amount of regulatory savings in the proposed rule is an estimated $454 million annual savings that would result from removing the requirement that every Medicare patient treated at a hospital outpatient department or ambulatory surgery center complete a medical history and physical.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services projects this initiative will result in almost $5.2 billion in savings for healthcare providers between 2018 and 2021.
