The CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization Final Rule (CMS-0057-F) is reshaping how health plans manage data exchange, prior authorization, and provider collaboration.

With 2026 requirements now in effect—and 2027 API deadlines fast approaching—the real challenge isn’t just implementing APIs—it’s transforming how data flows across your organization to improve efficiency, reduce friction, and deliver better member and provider experiences.

Why it matters

94% of physicians say prior authorizations delay patient care.
Manual processes and fragmented data continue to drive administrative burden, provider friction, and rising costs.

Forward-thinking health plans are using CMS-0057-F as an opportunity to streamline workflows, improve interoperability, and unlock measurable operational value.

Understand key CMS-0057-F requirements and what they mean for your organization
Leverage FHIR-based APIs to enable real-time, interoperable data exchange
Reduce prior authorization delays through automation and smarter workflows
Improve provider and member experiences through better data access and coordination
