The OMB is requiring “Middle Eastern or North African” for the race/ethnicity combination list. If you do not have “Middle Eastern or North African” as a race only option (if you are collecting race and ethnicity separately), it is ok.
We are instructing practices to work with their vendor to include the “Middle Eastern or North African” option to the combination race/ethnicity category so practices can transition to the OMB race/ethnicity combo for future collection.
