2017 Aug 30th, MEDCAC (Morning Session)

On August 30, 2017, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will convene a panel of the Medicare Evidence Development &Coverage Advisory Committee (MEDCAC). This meeting will specifically focus on obtaining the MEDCAC's recommendations regarding the appraisal of the state of evidence for health outcomes in the Medicare population for surgical and endoscopic procedures. Obesity affects over one-third of the Medicare population and can be a serious medical condition causing numerous complications, many of which are highly prevalent in the Medicare population. The MEDCAC panel will examine the scientific evidence for health outcomes resulting from bariatric therapies, including open and laparoscopic surgeries and endoscopic procedures, in the Medicare population with obesity. This meeting will also identify evidence gaps related to treatment of obesity and related co-morbidities with these interventions and discuss efforts aimed at patient-centered care. By voting on specific questions, and by their discussions, MEDCAC panel members will advise CMS in regards to these therapies in the Medicare population. MEDCAC panels do not make coverage determinations. The MEDCAC panel judges the strength of the evidence and makes recommendations to CMS based on that evidence. CMS will use the MEDCAC recommendations to inform future coverage policies.
