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. The CMS is a component of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is headed by Robert Francis Kennedy, Jr.

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 concerning payment for non-therapeutic circumcision for CMS in 2019,[2] but it has been ignored.
