All comments are welcome. To participate in this opportunity, please click on the button below by September 25th, 2019. Comments submitted will be used to assist ICER in their review. The sooner they receive comments the more likely they will be incorporated.
For the first question, “On which ICER report are you providing input?” please use cystic fibrosis as your answer.
Please note, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation does not decide how how ICER will use this feedback. The CF community will have other opportunities throughout the eight-month development of their evaluation to help inform and help shape their report. To learn more about their process, please read their Patient Participant Guide.
