A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".

This joint resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to cancel a rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. That rule set up prior authorization for select Medicare services under a model called the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model. Prior authorization means approval must be obtained before certain services are covered. If passed, the rule would have no force or effect.
