ASIM requests that the process by which individuals are appointed to serve be opened to ensure that all qualified physicians have an equal opportunity to be selected. Allowing practicing physicians who participate in managed care plans to be nominated by interested parties to have regular input in the policy - making decisions is in the best interest of the Medicare program because it is these physicians that actually provide medical care to Medicare beneficiaries.","Title":"Managed Care Advisory Group.
