  • 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.

    WHAT IS BALTIMORELINK? BaltimoreLink is a complete overhaul and rebranding of the core transit system operating within Baltimore City and the surrounding region. Many of MTA’s current bus routes are outdated, and BaltimoreLink will improve service through a more reliable and efficient network. BaltimoreLink also includes transfer facilities, dedicated bus lanes, signal priority, and improved bus stop signs, among many other improvements. To deliver an interconnected transit network, existing MTA bus and rail services will be restructured and renamed: • CityLink: Twelve new high-frequency, color-coded bus routes will connect with each other, as well as Metro SubwayLink, Light RailLink, MARC Train, Commuter Bus, Amtrak, and other services, into one integrated transit network. • LocalLink (currently Local Bus): LocalLink routes will provide comprehensive crosstown connections and improved connections to neighborhoods and communities throughout the system. • Express BusLink (currently Express Bus): Express BusLink will include several existing Express Bus services that provide suburb-to- city connections and recently launched routes providing suburb-to-suburb connections. Typically, Express Bus routes have fewer stops and use higher speed roads. • Light RailLink (currently Light Rail): Light Rail service will operate along the same line but with improved connections to buses. • Metro SubwayLink (currently Metro Subway): This service will not change but will have improved connections to buses. baltimorelink.com | 1 BETTER BUS STOPS BALTIMORELINK RESOURCE INFORMATION To create a better rider experience by providing information you can use, the MTA will be All MTA routes will change under installing new bus stop signs throughout the BaltimoreLink.

  • Film Production Activity Tax Credit Report 2014
    Maryland Film Production Activity Tax Credit Annual Report Pursuant to Tax General Article §10-730 Submitted by Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development December 2014 Maryland Film Production Activity Tax Credit Overview CH 516 Acts of 2011 created the Film Production Activity Tax Credit (Film Tax Credit). The Act repealed the existing Film Production Rebate Program and replaced it with a tax credit for qualified direct costs of qualified film production activities including feature films and television series. Under the Film Tax Credit, the Department of Business and Economic Development (DBED) could award a maximum of $7.5 million in credits, in each fiscal year, beginning in FY 2012 through FY 2014. Qualifying production activities were eligible for a tax credit of up to 25% of the qualified direct costs for a feature film and 27% for a television series. If the amount of the tax credit exceeded the total tax liability in the tax year, the entity could claim a refund in the amount of the excess. The Act became effective on July 1, 2011 with a sunset date of June 30, 2014. A total of $22.5M ($7.5 per FY) in tax credits was available for FYs 2012 through 2014. All of those tax credits were committed to six productions by January 2012 to: House of Cards – Season 1; VEEP – Seasons 1 & 2; Jamesy Boy; Better Living through Chemistry; and, Ping Pong Summer. In order to retain the filming of the two television series House of Cards and VEEP in Maryland, CH 28 Acts of 2013 increased the Film Tax Credit by $32.5M over three years and extended the sunset through FY 2016.

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.
