Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the U. S. government agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid. The CMS is directed by Dr. Mehmet Cengiz Öz.
Circumcision issues
The CMS by federal law must pay only for medically-necessary services. There are no medical indications for circumcision of the newborn. The CMS unlawfully provides third-party payment for non-therapeutic circumcision in most states.[1]
Doctors Opposing Circumcision published a review of the issues for CMS in 2019, but it has been ignored.[2]
