Description

In this episode, we take a closer look at two key developments out of CMS that could reshape how provider data and dispute resolution work in practice. First, we explore the agency’s proposed National Provider Directory — an ambitious effort to clean up fragmented provider data and reduce ghost networks. Then, we break down insights from the July 2025 CMS Technical Assistance Seminar, which tackled the growing problem of errors in the Federal Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process — from procedural missteps to jurisdictional mistakes and default determinations on ineligible claims. What’s CMS doing to fix the system — and what gaps are still leaving plans vulnerable?
