Acting CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner told attendees at the Federation of American Hospitals meeting they can expect more information on the state insurance exchanges in the weeks ahead.
“We will need your help as we go into 2012 and into 2013 on setting up the exchanges,” Tavenner said in her morning remarks Tuesday at the Marriott Washington Wardman Park. “And we will have more detail on that as the year rolls out—and, in fact, we will have some details in the next couple of weeks as it relates to the exchanges and Medicaid expansion.”
When asked later if she had been referring to a final rule on the exchanges, Tavenner told Modern Healthcare that the rule would be out “soon.” When pressed if “soon” meant this quarter, the former nurse and HCA executive said “very soon.”
