Shutdown persists amid political gridlock

Oct 21, 2025

Efforts to reopen the federal government remain stalled, as the Senate has not passed a House-approved funding resolution. 

The impact: A shutdown affects staffing levels at the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and other key agencies.

CMS recently announced that physicians can continue to submit claims for Medicare services, as it instructed contractors to limit claims holds and pay for services in a timely manner.
