13.5.2.2 - CAC Recommendations
(Rev. 863; Issued: 02-12-19; Effective: 10-03-18; Implementation: 01-08-19)
When a MAC determines that a CAC consultation should be sought for a proposed LCD, the
summary of recommendations from the CAC regarding the policy shall be included in the Final
LCD.
Contractors shall clearly identify, attendance information consisting of location, time and, date
for the CAC meeting(s) and ensure that these are clearly distinguished from the information for
the Open meeting(s) even if they occur on the same day at the same location. The MAC shall
also make available a means to accommodate reasonable requests for assistance from
stakeholders who are hearing or visually impaired. The frequency of the CAC meetings are at
the discretion of the MAC and will be based on the appropriateness and on the volume of LCDs
that require CAC consultation as part of the LCD process.
