Panelist, and later (2010-2011) Vice-Chair CMS-Medcac (Medicare Evidence Development and Coverage Advisory Committee). For the duration of the Medcac meeting, usually 1-2 days, I was considered an SGE (Special Government Employee). I was a member of the AAN Payment Policy Subcommittee (PPS)from 2006 to 2011. Non-financial disclosures: I was asked in Jan. 2010 to advice and represent a device manufacturing company on preparing a response to AAN's position on TENS and back pain treatment. I spoke to them and declined their offer of a consulting fee or representation. My policy, written as a former Medicare Medical Director, concerning IVIg use in adults with immunodeficiency and HIV or AIDS became the subject of discord with one provider. This issue was also handled by CMS. It has not been active since 2005-6. This matter, even if it were active, is NOT THE subject of the current paper.
