Medicare's new logo for future programs for innovative technology is TCET, Transitional Coverage for Emerging Technology. This is intended to replace MCIT, Medicare Coverage for Innovative Technology, a Trump program for breakthrough devices that was canceled by the new administration. Note that while MCIT was a defined program and regulation that was complete, the TCET is just an "idea" or a "brand" for an unknown basket of things CMS may do in the future.
The Duke Margolis Center and the Stanford Center for Biodesign held a workshop on the topic on March 29, preceding a CMS call on the topic on March 31. Duke/Stanford have now release:
- A 78-page deck used in the meeting
- A 2-page meeting summary.
- A 2-hour YouTube meeting video.
