AHCA: Keep QIOs State-Based

The AHCA is urging CMS to keep using state-based quality improvement organizations, or CIOs, for Medicare oversight. They are joined in their support by nearly 50 medical societies.

The groups oppose the potential replacement of state-level QIOs with regional ones and argue that doing so would damage the relationships that SNFs have built with their QIOs over the past decade. They also argue that it would be difficult to form relationships with an organization several states away.
