Executive Summary
The US medical device industry is not uniformly supportive of the Health Care Financing Administration's (HCFA) new attitude of openness. Three companies sent in letters of protest to the agency within 72 hours of the meeting it held recently on proposals to overhaul its Medicare coverage process (see Clinica No 828, p 6), according to Grant Bagley, director of HCFA's coverage and analysis group.
