Carrier Advisory Committee (CAC)
The CAC acts as a formal mechanism for physicians in the state to be informed about and to participate in the development of Local Coverage Determinations (LCD) in an advisory capacity, a mechanism to discuss and improve administrative policies
that are within carrier discretion and a forum for information exchange between carriers and physicians. To view a current list of ENT CACs. To obtain contact information for your CAC, email Healthpolicy@entnet.org

Workshops held in cities nationwide will help otolaryngologists, their staff, and other healthcare professionals code correctly, learn risk reduction strategies, and organize business systems.
