CMS Announces Public Data Release Under OPEN Government Data Act
CMS will release new public data assets in machine-readable formats under the OPEN Government Data Act, part of the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of 2018. The data release aims to support fraud, waste, and abuse identification while promoting transparency and accountability. CMS states it has balanced transparency objectives with protection of sensitive information. The notice does not specify which datasets will be released or when they will become available.
New CMS data releases could enhance managed care organizations' ability to benchmark program integrity metrics and identify compliance risks, though specific operational impacts depend on which datasets are ultimately published.
