Comment on CMS-2026-1916-0001

Summary: AdventHealth, a large non-profit health system, opposes the proposed rule because it exceeds the statutory scope of Public Law 119-21, imposes excessive administrative burdens on states, and risks reducing access to care for Medicaid beneficiaries. They urge CMS to limit restrictions to the four categories identified by Congress, allow for more flexible payment methodologies, and provide comprehensive technical guidance and implementation time.
