What the OMB Cybersecurity Proposal Does and Doesn't Do
Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 08.28.15
Open for comment until September 10, the recently released OMB cybersecurity guidance, Improving Cybersecurity Protections in Federal Acquisitions, marks another attempt by the Obama Administration to improve our nation's cybersecurity through the regulation of federal contractors.

CMS Doubles Down on RADV Audit Changes
On January 27, 2026, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released a Health Plan Management System (HPMS) memo that provided a long-awaited update on how the agency plans to approach previously announced Risk Adjustment Data Validation (RADV) audits for Payment Years (PY) 2020-2024. The memo is the agency’s most comprehensive statement on the subject since September 25, 2025, when the Northern District of Texas vacated the 2023 RADV Final Rule. The memo makes clear that, while CMS has made certain operational adjustments in response to concerns expressed by Medicare Advantage Organizations (MAOs), the agency is largely pressing forward with the accelerated audit strategy announced in May 2025.
