DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

HUMAN SERVICES

Agency for Healthcare Research and

Quality

Public Meeting on Medicare Coverage

of Clinical Trials

AGENCY: Agency for Healthcare Research

and Quality (AHRQ) formerly known as

the Agency for Health Care Policy and

Research (AHCPR).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

SUMMARY: In the past, Medicare has not

paid for health care services provided as

part of clinical trials because of their

experimental nature. To carry out an

executive memorandum from the

President of the United States to the

Secretary of Health and Human Services

received on June 7, 2000 directing

Medicare to provide for payment of

routine patient care costs incurred by

Medicare beneficiaries in connection

with participation in clinical trials, the

Health Care Financing Administration

(HCFA) has issued a National Coverage

Decision. In order to implement this

new coverage policy for routine costs in

clinical trials, HCFA must define the

clinical trials for which payment of

routine costs would be appropriate.

Therefore, HCFA requested AHRQ to

convene a multi-agency Federal group

to develop readily verifiable criteria by

which to identify trials that meet an

appropriate standard of quality. The

qualifying criteria will be developed

under the authority to support health

care research in § 1142 of the Social

Security Act (Act). This notice

announces a public meeting for the

purpose of receiving oral and written

comments on easily verifiable qualifying

criteria for identifying sound clinical

trials appropriate for Medicare coverage.

DATES: The meeting will take place on

October 20, 2000, from 9 a.m.–12 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at

the Agency for Healthcare Research and

Quality Conference Center, 6010

Executive Blvd., 4th Floor, Rockville,

MD 20852.
