MGMA statement on the ONC interim final rule delaying information blocking requirements until April 5, 2021

Anders Gilberg
Senior Vice President, Government Affairs
Medical Group Management Association

"The six months of additional time afforded by the agency is critical for medical practices as they face significant operational and financial challenges associated with the national COVID-19 pandemic. MGMA maintains its concern that the information blocking regulation, with its many complex and confusing requirements and exceptions, will add unnecessary administrative burden on medical groups. We urge ONC to take full advantage of this additional time and develop comprehensive guidance and targeted educational resources."
