Administrative Law governs the administrative operations of government; an example cited for the federal level is which agency?

• A. Centers for Medicare Services (CMS)
• B. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• C. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• D. National Science Foundation (NSF)

Answer: (A)

Administrative law covers how agencies create rules, interpret statutes, and enforce regulations. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services fits this well because it runs the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs, which requires formal rulemaking, setting standards, and enforcing compliance across providers and plans. Through its regulations, policy guidelines, and program requirements, CMS translates federal health policy into the everyday rules that govern reimbursement and care delivery nationwide. While other agencies like FDA and EPA also regulate, and NSF funds research, CMS is a clear example of federal administrative operations shaping nationwide programs and the rules that operators must follow.
