Preparing for new interoperability enhancements coming in 2027
Geisinger Health Plan (GHP) announced it will implement CMS-0057-F interoperability requirements, including a Provider Access API for in-network providers and a Prior Authorization API for electronic prior authorization exchange, with compliance beginning January 1, 2027 for Geisinger Gold (Medicare Advantage and Medicaid managed care), GHP Family, GHP Kids, Geisinger Marketplace, and FEHB products. Providers and their technology partners will need to register through the GHP Developer Portal and confirm a treatment relationship before member data can be requested; the publication says prior authorization requirements and decision criteria are unchanged.
