Service Spotlight: Engaging in Regulatory Comments to Protect Company Operations & Margins

Proposed regulations are something that are underutilized by healthcare and life sciences supply chain entities. While legislation captures all the excitement with lobbying and either amending or passing new laws, when it comes to healthcare, the gaps legislation oftentimes leaves open-ended are left to an agency to do the details of filling in the gaps. For example, specifics on reimbursement or licensing changes are usually done by the likes of CMS, FDA, HRSA or state departments of insurance.

Changes are done via rulemaking, which are found in the federal or state register. Through proposed rules, agencies give stakeholders an opportunity to comment on a rule change, which starts a certain timed process.

Participation in agency rulemakings are key because these rules affect the finer points of your operation. Additionally, not knowing about a change in these critical rules can oftentimes result in adverse action from an agency like a fine or a warning letter if your compliance is not up to date.

Service Spotlight: Monitoring & Forecasting Keeps Healthcare and Life Sciences Stakeholders “In the Know”

Many healthcare and life sciences industry stakeholders often wish they knew about pending laws before they are enacted, why a new regulation was drafted the way it was, or why they are being asked about information from a supply chain partner on an issue they knew nothing about. Not being “in the know” raises the risk of being unprepared for an emerging law or regulation and can also hurt a business’ bottom line.
