From CMS:

CMS is committed to crushing fraud, waste, and abuse. The WISeR Model, which stands for Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction, will help meet this goal, while supporting people with Original Medicare to receive safe and appropriate care and protecting federal taxpayers.

Through WISeR, CMS will partner with companies specializing in enhanced technologies to test ways to provide an improved and expedited process for reviewing the medical necessity of select items and services shown to have little to no clinical benefit and that are particularly vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse.

With this announcement, CMS has issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for companies interested in participating in the model.

Find more information on the WISeR Model webpage, as well as the model press release and factsheet.
