Coalition response to the proposed repeal of the Medicare Coverage of Innovative Technology (MCIT) rule

The Coalition submitted comments noting its disappointment in response to CMS' proposal to repeal the Medicare Coverage of Innovative Technology (MCIT). The Coalition urged CMS to not repeal the rule, and questioned its stated rationales for the repeal. Comments reminded the Agency of the many tools it has at its disposal that it could have employed – including coverage with evidence development as well as sub regulatory guidance – to move forward with implementing MCIT to help ensure that Medicare beneficiaries have expedited access to breakthrough diagnostic and therapeutic devices.
