Comment on CMS-2026-1255-0001
CVS HealthSupportBusiness
Summary: CVS Health supports the CMS goal of improving interoperability and electronic prior authorization (ePA) but argues that the proposed October 1, 2027, compliance date is unfeasible. They request a later compliance date (no sooner than 2028), clearer transition frameworks for technical standards, and the ability to pause turnaround clocks when waiting for complete clinical information.
