I don't think you can pay a lobbyist to lobby the CMS to get a device approved for reimbursement, any more than you can pay a lobbyist to lobby with the FDA to get a device cleared by the FDA. The CMS and FDA are government entities that ENFORCE laws, not legislative entities that ENACT laws.

If BIEL hired a lobbyist to get RecoveryRx "approved with an insurance code," who would that lobbyist approach? Here's a CMS org chart -- which department listens to lobbyists?

I'd like to understand the lobbying part of the CMS approval process. Thanks!
