How ready are your workflows for CMS-0057-F?
CMS-0057-F is a payer mandate, but its biggest practical effects land on the provider side. As payers expose the four FHIR APIs in January 2027, your EHR workflows either consume them — turning prior auth into an inline, evidence-rich, ordered-at-the-point-of-care experience — or they don't, and you keep the fax-and-portal status quo while your peers compress submission time, lower denials, and gold-card their way out of friction.
This assessment scores your readiness across the five dimensions that determine whether your organization captures the upside of the rule. It takes about five minutes. No login required.

A few quick questions so we can tailor the recommendations. Not scored.
The EHR substrate the rule depends on.
CMS-0057-F's value to your organization is gated by your EHR's FHIR maturity. CRD CDS Hooks at the point of order, DTR template ingestion in clinical documentation, FHIR PAS submission — none of it works without the substrate underneath.
How PA actually leaves your building.
The most concrete provider-side change under CMS-0057-F: where, how, and how fast your prior auth requests get submitted. Channel mix matters. Pre-submission gap analysis matters more. The whole point is to compress submission time and lift first-pass approval.
The denial loop.
CMS-0057-F's machine-readable denial reasons create the first real opportunity in two decades to automate the denial-to-appeal loop. Providers without a structured-denial intake will miss most of that opportunity.
What you'll see about your payers.
Starting March 31, 2026, every impacted payer publishes its PA metrics annually. For the first time, payer-by-payer behavior is comparable. Providers who use the data well — for routing, gold-carding negotiation, contract leverage — extract material upside the rule made available.
What the patient actually sees.
Patient Access API exposes prior auth status to the member. Done well, this turns PA from an opaque source of patient anxiety into a transparent step the patient can track. Done poorly, the patient still calls your front desk to ask if their procedure is approved.
