Great news – the comments that have been submitted thus far to the Centers for Medicare and Medicare Services can now be read HERE!
Remember, even if you are not a Medicare beneficiary yet, Medicare coverage sets the standard that most other private and public policies follow, so these rules will affect all patients.
If you hope to see anything changed in the coverage rules that CMS has drafted, you have just 18 days left to submit your comments. This is the only public comment period, so it’s your only opportunity to have a voice in this rulemaking process and shape the outcome!

All comments must be submitted by August 29th. If needed, step-by-step instructions on how to use the submission form are available HERE. Please review the following resources before submitting your comments:
