A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".

This bill would block a rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that set up a program requiring prior authorization for certain Medicare services as part of a model aimed at reducing wasteful and inappropriate services. Congress has a process that allows it to officially disapprove and cancel rules made by federal agencies, and this bill uses that process. No official summary is available for this bill.
