The non-ASL templates must be customizable with event- specific information that utilize four fillable elements: the name of the sending agency, the location, the time, and an optional URL. The alert templates for ASL are non-fillable and signed by a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI). The Bureau requires WEA-capable mobile devices to accompany the display of templates with the corresponding English- language fillable template. The Bureau also announces the effective date of a previously announced amendment that was contingent on this action.

We are proposing new requirements for Medicare Advantage (MA) organizations, state Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) programs, state Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) FFS programs, Medicaid managed care plans, CHIP managed care entities, and Qualified Health Plan (QHP) issuers on the Federally-facilitated Exchanges (FFEs), including issuers that offer small group market QHPs on the Federally-facilitated Small Business Health Options Program (FF- SHOP) Exchanges (hereinafter referred to as \"small group market QHP issuers on the FF-SHOPs\") (collectively \"impacted payers\"), to make available electronic prior authorization for drugs. We are also proposing to extend many existing interoperability requirements for the prior authorization of non-drug items and services to include prior authorizations for drugs to further reduce patient and provider burden. We are also proposing to require impacted payers to report their application programming interfaces (API) endpoints and related information for the Patient Access, Provider Directory, Provider Access, Payer-to-Payer, and Prior Authorization APIs to CMS. To help assess the impact of our policies, we are proposing to collect API usage metrics. In addition, we are proposing to apply the existing interoperability requirements to small group market QHP issuers on the FF-SHOPs as impacted payers. To improve impacted payers' ability to exchange health information while continuing CMS's drive toward interoperability, we are proposing to require certain Health Level Seven (HL7[supreg]) Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR[supreg]) implementation guides (IGs) that are currently recommended. In addition, HHS is proposing to adopt the HL7 FHIR base standard and certain associated specifications and IGs as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (hereinafter referred to as \"HIPAA\") (Pub. L. 104-191, enacted Aug. 21, 1996) standards for dental, professional, and institutional \"referral certification and authorization\" transactions and \"eligibility for a health plan\" transactions associated with prior authorization.
