Re: Unleashing Prosperity Through Deregulation of the Medicare Program Request for Information
Dear Administrator Oz:
The Alliance of Specialty Medicine (Alliance) appreciates the opportunity to share key opportunities to streamline regulations and reduce administrative burdens on specialty physicians and their patients participating in the Medicare program. The Alliance, which represents 15 specialty organizations and more than 100,000 physicians, is dedicated to the development of sound federal health care policy that fosters patient access to the highest quality specialty care. Our comments below, which respond to specific questions in the RFI, focus on current Medicare policies that are particularly burdensome to specialty physicians and interfere with providing the highest quality patient care.
