Extractions: AAMC Expresses Concerns on Privacy Regulations for Medical Research and Health Education Testifying Feb. 8 before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, G. Richard Smith, Jr., M.D. , professor of psychiatry and medicine, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, presented the AAMC's concerns about the effects on medical research and health education of the final medical records privacy regulations issued by the Department of Health and Human Services in December He reiterated the AAMC's belief "that a great majority of retrospective research with archived medical records could and should be performed with de-identified medical information." "Unfortunately, HHS has persisted in setting a single bar for 'de-identification,' and that bar is much too high," he stated, and urged the committee to direct HHS to rethink its approach to de-identification, and to create a standard that "more appropriately reflects the realities of health research and the motivations and capabilities of health researchers." Dr. Smith also expressed the AAMC's concerns about some of the new criteria for obtaining a waiver of the requirement for specific authorization for research access to protected health information contained in archived medical records. He questioned the ability of Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) or the newly created Privacy Boards (PBs) to measure "privacy rights" or "privacy risks."

Extractions: Back to Veterans Specific Regulations Payment for Non-VA Physician Services Associated with Either Outpatient or Inpatient Care Provided at Non-VA Facilities - The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 23, 1998 to amend VA medical regulations concerning payment for non-VA physician services that are associated with outpatient or inpatient care provided to eligible VA beneficiaries at non-VA facilities. Generally, when a service-specific reimbursement amount has been calculated under Medicare's Participating Physician Fee Schedule, VA would pay the lesser of the actual billed charge or the calculated amount. Also, when an amount has not been calculated or when the services constitute anesthesia services, VA would pay the amount calculated under a 75th percentile formula or, in certain limited circumstances, VA would pay the usual and customary rate. Consistent with statutory requirements, the regulations specify that VA payment constitutes payment in full.

Extractions: Less federal intrusion will help America's schools WASHINGTONSpeaking at a high school today in Virginia, President Bush introduced his plan to extend to secondary schools the federal testing and training rules of No Child Left Behind. David Salisbury , director of the Cato Institute's Center for Education Freedom, made the following comments regarding the president's proposal: "While tougher standards for high schools are a good idea, Washington has never been good at providing remedies in an effective way. America's schools already suffer from too many mandates and too much bureaucracy. It would be much better for the president to advocate local measures, including more parental choice and competition among schools as a way to improve education. Empowering parents to make decisions about where their children go to school would improve high schools faster than a federally mandated testing program."
