ensure adequate representation of those
enrolled in the Medicare program
including but not limited to, racial and
ethnic groups, individuals with
disabilities, and from across the gender
spectrum. Therefore, we encourage
nominations of qualified candidates
who can represent these lived
experiences.
The MEDCAC consists of a pool of
100 appointed members including: 90
at-large standing members (10 of whom
are patient advocates), and 10
representatives of industry interests.
Members generally are recognized
authorities in clinical medicine
including subspecialties, administrative
medicine, public health, biological and
physical sciences, epidemiology and
biostatistics, clinical trial design, health
care data management and analysis,
patient advocacy, health care
economics, health disparities, medical
ethics, those with an understanding of
sociodemographic bias and resulting
limitations of scientific evidence, or
other relevant professions.
The MEDCAC works from an agenda
provided by the Designated Federal
Official. The MEDCAC reviews and
evaluates medical literature and
technology assessments, and hears
public testimony on the evidence
available to address the impact of
medical items and services on health
outcomes of Medicare beneficiaries. The
MEDCAC may also advise the Centers
for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
as part of Medicare’s ‘‘coverage with
evidence development’’ initiative.
II. Provisions of the Notice
As of June 2022, there will be 23
membership terms expiring. Of the 23
memberships expiring, 3 are patient
advocates and the remaining 20
membership openings are for the atlarge standing MEDCAC membership.
All nominations must be
accompanied by curricula vitae.
Nomination packages should be sent to
Ruth McKesson at the address listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
Nominees are selected based upon their
individual qualifications. Nominees for
membership must have expertise and
experience in one or more of the
following fields:
• Clinical medicine including
subspecialties
• Administrative medicine
• Public health
• Health disparities
• Biological and physical sciences
• Epidemiology and biostatistics
• Clinical trial design
• Health care data management and
analysis
• Patient advocacy

• Health care economics
• Medical ethics
• Other relevant professions
We are looking particularly for
experts in a number of fields. These
include health disparities, cancer
screening, genetic testing, clinical
epidemiology, psychopharmacology,
screening and diagnostic testing
analysis, and vascular surgery. We also
need experts in biostatistics in clinical
settings, dementia treatment,
observational research design, stroke
epidemiology, and women’s health.
The nomination letter must include a
statement that the nominee is willing to
serve as a member of the MEDCAC and
appears to have no conflict of interest
that would preclude membership. We
are requesting that all curricula vitae
include the following:
• Title and current position
• Professional affiliation
• Home and business address
• Telephone
• Email address
• List of areas of expertise
In the nomination letter, we are
requesting that nominees specify
whether they are applying for a patient
advocate position, for an at-large
standing position, or as an industry
representative. Potential candidates will
be asked to provide detailed information
concerning such matters as financial
holdings, consultancies, and research
grants or contracts in order to permit
evaluation of possible sources of
financial conflict of interest. Department
policy prohibits multiple committee
memberships. A federal advisory
committee member may not serve on
more than one committee within an
agency at the same time.
Members may be invited to serve for
overlapping 2-year terms. A member
may continue to serve after the
expiration of the member’s term until a
successor is named. Any interested
person may nominate one or more
qualified persons. Self-nominations are
also accepted. Individuals interested in
the representative positions are
encouraged to include a letter of support
from the organization or interest group
they would represent.
III. Collection of Information
