Join industry leaders for a focused, full day virtual event exploring payer and provider perspectives on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) 0053 Claims Attachments Final Rule. As the industry moves toward implementation, this session will examine how stakeholders are preparing, where progress is being made, and the challenges that lie ahead. 

Through practical insights and real-world experiences, participants will gain a clearer understanding of key readiness areas, including communication and education strategies, testing approaches, digital signature requirements, and the evolving role of partnerships. Part of the event involves participants breaking out into discussion groups to dive deeper into organizations’ needs for successful implementation, including topics for education, hands-on resources, and additional guidance. The discussion will highlight what’s working, what remains complex, and how collaboration across the ecosystem can drive more efficient processes and workflows.
