The Standard

May Community Roundtable on May 27 Offers More Insight into Proposed Rule and Payer Data Exchange

As the industry prepares for the next wave of healthcare interoperability, the HL7 Da Vinci Project is dedicated to providing the community with the insights and tools necessary for success. With newly proposed regulatory frameworks, the stakes for technical and operational alignment have never been higher. Join us for the May Community Roundtable on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. ET to prepare for what’s next.

What You’ll Learn

While our April session established the foundational context for the new federal rule (CMS-0062-P), the May session builds on the momentum by moving from initial impressions to active implementation strategies. We will provide a focused update of the community’s considerations regarding the 2026 Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs proposed rule, specifically focusing on the Payer Data Exchange (PDex), PDex Plan Net, and Member Attribution (ATR) List Implementation Guides (IGs) called out in the rule.

Real-World Perspectives & Demonstrations

Following the policy discussion, you will hear directly from implementers successfully deploying these standards in real-world payer environments:

• Onyx: Discover how their implementations focus on moving data out of silos into standardized formats, providing endpoints for payers to make data available via HL7 FHIR IGs.
• Availity: Watch a live demo of core PDex workflows, including member matching and data retrieval, and learn how a centralized network can reduce onboarding friction while preserving payer autonomy and PDex semantics.

Our presenters will share critical insights on scalability and how these implementations support broader policy goals around data access, care coordination, and patient empowerment.

Upcoming Da Vinci Community Roundtable on April 29 at 4:00 pm ET

The momentum for healthcare interoperability continues to accelerate. Following the CMS-0057-F final rule, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) have introduced its next major regulatory step: the 2026 Interoperability Standards and Prior Authorization for Drugs Proposed Rule (CMS-0062-P).

Join the HL7 Da Vinci Project for the April Community Roundtable happening on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 4 p.m. ET as we break down this new proposal and discuss its implications for HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources® (FHIR®) implementation and the industry at large. The new proposed rule relies heavily on the work of the HL7 Da Vinci Project community and could bring significant changes for industry, including adding Da Vinci implementation guides to Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requirements.
