The CME Coalition has submitted comments to the State of New Jersey in support of its proposed rule to allow the provision of meals during the course of live CME activities. This proposal represents a reversal of an earlier rule that went into effect in January 2018, which currently limits the value of meals provided to New Jersey doctors during CME activitiess to just $15. As the Coalition explains in the letter, "based on the typical venues used for CME seminars, the original rule’s $15 threshold presents a considerable challenge for event organizers and health professionals." The letter outlines how the cheapest meal options at typical CME venues range from $17 to $35, and commends the Attorney General for proposing to reverse the prior rulemaking.
The public has until October 5, 2018 to comment on the proposal.
