  • AAFP Letter to CMS on Prior Authorizations in Medicare
    February 28, 2019 The Honorable Seema Verma Administrator Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Hubert H. Humphrey Building, Room 445–G 200 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20201 Dear Administrator Verma: The undersigned organizations are writing to urge the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide guidance to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans on prior authorization (PA) processes through its 2020 Call Letter. CMS’ guidance should direct plans to target PA requirements where they are needed most. Specifically, CMS should require MA plans to selectively apply PA requirements and provide examples of criteria to be used for such programs, including, for example, ordering/prescribing patterns that align with evidence- based guidelines and historically high PA approval rates. At a time when CMS has prioritized regulatory burden reduction in the patient-provider relationship through its Patients Over Paperwork initiative, we believe such guidance will help promote safe, timely, and affordable access to care for patients; enhance efficiency; and reduce administrative burden on physician practices. A Consensus Statement on Improving the Prior Authorization Process, issued by the AMA, the American Hospital Association, America’s Health Insurance Plans, the American Pharmacists Association, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, and the Medical Group Management Association in January 2018, identified opportunities to improve the prior authorization process, with the goals of promoting safe, timely, and affordable access to evidence-based care for patients; enhancing efficiency; and reducing administrative burdens.1 It notes that the PA process can be burdensome for all involved—health care providers, health plans, and patients—and that plans should target PA requirements where they are needed most.

During this unprecedented national health emergency, physicians and other health care professionals have been putting themselves at risk every day while facing shortages of medical supplies and safety equipment, and making critical medical decisions based on changing directives and guidance. These physicians and other health care professionals are now facing the threat of years of costly litigation due to the extraordinary circumstances. As the House and Senate continue to work on the next COVID-19 relief package, we strongly urge you to include the targeted and limited liability protections that are in the bipartisan bill, H.R. 7059, the “Coronavirus Provider Protection Act.” The public health emergency triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges to our nation’s health care system. In addition to facing inadequate supplies and safety equipment, physicians, hospitals, and other frontline health care professionals have been faced with rapidly changing guidance and directives from all levels of government.

  • American Osler Society
    49th Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society Sir William Osler, quoting Leigh Hunt, “Abou Ben Adhem” Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Hotel Omni Mont-Royal 49th Annual Meeting of the AMERICAN OSLER SOCIETY Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Credit: Karen Koshof The Osler Niche contains the ashes of Sir William Osler and Lady Osler, as well as those of Osler’s dear cousin and first Librarian of the Osler Library, W.W. Francis. The Niche was designed with Osler’s wishes in mind. Its realization was not far off the vision imagined by Osler’s alter ego Egerton Yorrick Davis in “Burrowings of a Bookworm”: I like to think of my few books in an alcove of a fire-proof library in some institution that I love; at the end of the alcove an open fire-place and a few easy chairs, and on the mantelpiece an urn with my ashes and my bust or portrait through which my astral self, like the Bishop at St. Praxed’s, could peek at the books I have loved, and enjoy the delight with which kindred souls still in the flesh would handle them. Course Objectives Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: Describe new research findings in the history of medicine. Outline the evolution of medicine in a particular disease. List professional contributions made by others in medicine. Intended Audience The target audience includes physicians and others interested in Osler, medical history and any of the medically oriented humanities who research and write on a range of issues.

  • 32Nd Annual Report to the Community
    32nd Annual Report to the Community JULY 2017–JUNE 2018 DEAR FRIENDS, The ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus (c. 500 BC) is credited with saying “change is the only constant in life.” With these words, Heraclitus has successfully influenced the way that we look at, consider, embrace, reject, and celebrate change. The Community Foundation has been influencing change since 1986 by way of every donor’s vision and desire to transform and improve the community. In 2011, the board of trustees made an intentional decision to increase influence through strategic grantsmaking based on its Frederick County Human Needs Assessment. Now, in 2018, the Needs Assessment has been updated, and the influence for change continues as the outcomes are studied and strategic grantsmaking evolves as a result. “Influence for change” is only possible because of “U” and the way “U” see the future of Frederick County and its residents. “U” is the most important letter in the word “Influence” because “U” are the most important driver in the Community Foundation’s efforts to address the pressing needs in the community. The community’s efforts to influence change in FY2018 was evident by the 1,740 donors who made more than 3,400 gifts to one or more of 700 funds. Most gifts were added to our existing endowment that spends 5 percent of the annual market value in grants and scholarships. Grants benefitted more than 250 nonprofits, and nearly 300 students received scholarships for post-secondary education or trade and technical training. In addition to education, areas that were supported by grants included youth programs, elder care, historic preservation, health care, health and human services, those who were homeless or precariously housed, animal welfare, the environment, the arts, civic causes, and more.

  • Secretary of Veterans' Affairs
    June 24, 2020 The Honorable Robert Wilkie Secretary U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs 810 Vermont Avenue NW, Room 1063B Washington, DC 20420 Dear Secretary Wilkie: The undersigned medical associations and medical specialty societies are writing to register serious concerns with the Health Care Professional Practice in VA Memorandum (Memorandum) issued by the Office of the Under Secretary of Health on April 21, 2020, and underlying Directive 1899 (Directive). The undersigned organizations urge the Secretary to amend Directive 1899 as it relates to allowing non-physician healthcare professionals in 32 specialties to operate “within the full scope of their license, registration, or certification” and rescind the Memorandum as it relates to encouraging all VA medical facilities to allow CRNAs to practice without physician oversight during the national health emergency. The undersigned organizations are very concerned Directive 1899 preempts state scope of practice laws. Directive 1899 memorializes U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) policy allowing VA health care professionals to practice across state lines and establishes new policy allowing VA health care professionals to operate within the full scope of their license, registration, or certification. This combination in effect circumvents state scope of practice laws for the 32 health care professionals defined in the directive. Such a far-reaching expansion is overly broad, unnecessary and threatens the health and safety of patients within the VA system. As state scope of practice laws vary across these professions and across states, we urge the Secretary to amend the directive to defer to state scope of practice laws, similar to the language related to psychologists in Appendix B of the Directive.

  • Joint Letter to CMS to Sunset Waivers When PHE Concludes
    July 22, 2020 The Honorable Seema Verma Administrator Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Hubert H. Humphrey Building, Room 445-G 200 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20201 Dear Administrator Verma: The undersigned organizations represent the hundreds of thousands of physicians who provide care for our nation’s Medicare patients every day. We are writing to strongly support the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) decision to temporarily waive certain regulatory requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic. These temporary waivers, in extraordinary circumstances, have empowered physicians and non-physician health care professionals to focus on their patients and prevented a collapse of the health care system in the hardest hit areas of the country. However, we urge CMS to sunset the waivers involving scope of practice and licensure when the public health emergency (PHE) concludes. To our dismay, it is our understanding that some organizations have already been advocating to make the temporary waivers permanent—permanently diminishing physician oversight and supervision of patient care. While we are greatly appreciative of CMS’ rapid and substantial removal of regulatory barriers to allow physicians to continue providing care during the PHE, we also strive to continue to work with CMS to support patient access to physician-led care teams during and after the PHE. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, physicians, nurses, and the entire health care community have been working side-by-side caring for patients and saving lives. Now more than ever, we need health care professionals working together as part of physician-led health care teams.
