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 sets up a program requiring prior authorization for certain Medicare services as part of a model aimed at reducing wasteful and inappropriate services. Prior authorization means a doctor or hospital would need to get approval before providing certain services in order for Medicare to pay for them. No official summary is available for this bill.
