CMS intends for Medicare to cover Aduhelm, Biogen’s Alzheimer’s disease treatment, for patients taking part in clinical trials. “CMS has proposed an evidence-based coverage policy after experts reviewed all relevant publicly available evidence and feedback received from stakeholders,” said CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure. “Before finalizing this proposal, we will have more opportunities to hear from people with Medicare living with mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease or mild Alzheimer’s disease dementia, their family members and caregivers, as well as many other stakeholders, including patient advocacy groups, medical experts, states, payers, and industry professionals.”
