CMS Launches IDR Gateway: What Providers Need to Know Before September 15

CMS Launches IDR Gateway: What Providers Need to Know Before September 15

In late 2026, the Federal Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) process will transition from single-use web forms to the new IDR Gateway, which will provide a secure, centralized platform that parties can use to manage disputes.

The IDR Gateway will allow users to start and respond to disputes, access dashboards to view dispute data, track and monitor disputes, and review notifications regarding dispute activity. Organizations and individuals that process disputes or submit IDR forms in the current federal IDR process must sign up to manage disputes in the IDR Gateway. Users can begin creating accounts on September 15, 2026.

Coming Soon: IDR Gateway | CMS
