members of the Council must be
physicians as described in section

relate to physicians’ services, identified
by the Secretary. Section 1868(a)(3) of
the Act provides for payment of
expenses and per diem for Council
members in the same manner as
members of other advisory committees
appointed by the Secretary. In addition
to making these payments, the
Department of Health and Human
Services and CMS provide management
and support services to the Council. The
Secretary will appoint new members to
the Council from among those
candidates determined to have the
expertise required to meet specific
agency needs in a manner to ensure
appropriate balance of the Council’s
membership.

Council at the March 6, 2006 meeting,
