Each year from April to July, CMS issues annual rulemaking and policymaking proposals for inpatient, outpatient, physician office, renal, and other policy domains.
Links to all are found here, after the break.
CMS annual policymaking for each topic area is released first as a "display copy" rule - essentially a typescript version. About a week later, each rule is released as a permanent and nicely typeset document as part of the Federal Register.
