CMS Rule Eliminates Faxes For Claims Transactions - American College of Cardiology

Summary: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) is finally saying goodbye to the fax machine! A new rule requires health care claims to be sent securely online instead of by fax or mail. This change will make processing claims faster and safer. The rule officially starts in May 2026, and all medical offices must follow it by May 2028. For now, this doesn't apply to prior authorizations, but CMS plans to update those rules later.
