CMS Extends Deadline for Publishing Stark Final Rules

  • August 28, 2020

The Spring 2020 unified agenda indicated the final rule would be issued in August 2020, but CMS said in an August 27 Federal Register notice (85 Fed. Reg. 52940) that it was “still working through the complexity of the issues raised by comments received on the proposed rule” and wouldn’t be able to meet the earlier-set publication target date.
