Action Alert Your Input Is Needed To Make Sure Medicare Covers Hepatitis C Testing! The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has recently opened a “national coverage determination” process for adding hepatitis C testing to the list of preventive services offered to Medicare beneficiaries. This is a 6 to 9 month process where CMS reviews research and input from community members, medical providers, public health officials, and other stakeholders before deciding whether or not to cover a service. If CMS decides to offer hepatitis C testing, it must be made available for no cost to those who are either at risk or who were born between 1945 and 1965. This is the result of the “B” grade given by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and language in the Affordable Care Act requiring any “A” or “B” graded services to offered without cost-sharing. The CMS announcement is great news, as Medicare can play a key role in identifying people who don’t know they have hepatitis C – particularly Baby Boomers who are entering the program at a rate of 10,000 people per day. The first step in the process is a 30 day “public comment” period, which gives us a chance to thank CMS for opening the process and to show our support for covering hepatitis C testing in Medicare as soon as possible. Please take a few minutes to follow the steps below and send your public comment. The deadline for submitting public comment is October 5, 2013. To submit comments, go here and click the “comment” button on the upper right corner. You will be asked for your name, email, and mailing address. You can enter your comments in the available field. Note that the system does not accept attachments. If you prefer to send a letter, you can email it. Follow the instructions at the bottom of the page. Your comments do not have to be long or detailed. The most important thing is to express your support for Medicare coverage of hepatitis C testing for those at risk and those born between 1945 and 1965. Explain why you think hepatitis C testing is important. If you have a personal story or a story about someone you know, add that to your comments. If your organization provides hepatitis C testing, talk about some of your success stories. If you need any help crafting your comments, contact Ryan Clary and he will help. nvhr.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=365&qid=33567
