OMB to Review Proposed Final Rule for Streamlined Credentialing of Telemedicine

The Office of Management and Budget will review a proposed final rule on streamlining the credentialing process of healthcare providers offering telemedicine services, according to a Health Data Management news report.

The proposed rule, submitted by CMS, seeks to change the conditions of participation for hospitals and critical-access hospitals and make it less burdensome for physicians and other clinicians providing telemedicine to undergo the new credentialing and privileging process. The OMB's review is the last stop before a proposed rule is finalized and published in the Federal Register.
