As part of the CMS Pre-Rulemaking process for programs under Section 3014 of the Affordable Care Act, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) must annually issue a Measures under Consideration List (MUC List) by December 1. Developers submit measures for CMS to consider including in certain CMS programs as required under ACA.
See Pre-Rulemaking Overview to learn more about the pre-rulemaking process.
