President Trump’s Budget Released: Includes ONC Proposals

On April 3, The Trump Administration released its Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 budget request. HHS also released its Budget in Brief document, which included Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) proposals. The budget includes an ONC FY 2027 budget request of $50 million (-$19 million below FY 2026) and ONC collaboration efforts, such as ONC working with CMS to draft rules updating payment policy/programs and working with HHS’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR) to ensure secure patient access to electronic health information. As a reminder, the President’s budget request is a framework and not binding.
