CMS Publishes Q1 2026 Quarterly Listing of Medicare and Medicaid Program Issuances
CMS released its quarterly compilation of manual instructions, regulations, and Federal Register notices published between January and March 2026 affecting Medicare, Medicaid, and other CMS-administered programs. This reference document consolidates all policy guidance, regulatory updates, and program instructions issued during the quarter in a single indexed listing. The compilation serves as an administrative record of policy activity but does not introduce new requirements. Managed care organizations should review the listing to identify any Q1 issuances affecting their contracts, compliance obligations, or operational requirements that may have been issued outside of major rulemaking.
This quarterly index helps MCOs systematically track the full scope of CMS policy activity, including technical guidance and manual updates that may not receive standalone attention but still create compliance obligations.
