From multi-year task orders with a team of subcontractors to smaller-scale individual research efforts, L&M has led dozens of research projects from government agencies, as well as private clients. See below for a selection of our projects.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), June 2019 through May 2027
L&M, with partners Tantus Technologies and Mathematica, provides support services and technical assistance to CMS by triaging, reviewing, and summarizing public comments received in response to Notices of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRMs) and other public comment cycles. L&M has supported various public comment periods, including the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) proposed rule, Interim Final Rules with Comment periods (IFCs), Part C/Part D regulations, the Advance Notice, and the Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective System (OPPS)/Ambulatory Surgical Center (ASC) Payment System proposed rule. During each comment period, L&M triages, reviews and summarizes up to tens of thousands of comments (40,000+ for the PFS; 17,000+ for the Advance Notice and Part C/D regulations; and 2,000+ for the IFCs). Additional responsibilities include managing CMS’ resource mailbox to process, track, and respond to inquiries year-round. This also involves providing technical assistance in reviewing preamble and regulations text and updating existing CMS publications and sub-regulatory guidance.
