The Future of Medicare’s Coverage with Evidence Development Policy

Medicare is considering changes to an important program meant to provide beneficiaries with access to newly approved drugs and devices while collecting data on how they work in the real world. The nearly 20-year-old program, known as Coverage with Evidence Development (CED), has recently faced questions about whether it’s working as intended. 

Join the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy & Economics, in partnership with the Tufts Center for Evaluation of Value and Risk in Health and the Stanford Mussallem Center for Biodesign, for a conversation on the future of CED at USC’s Capital Campus in Washington, D.C. Attendees will hear from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) officials, learn about the latest research and share ideas on how CED could be improved.
