• Which perspective on costs seems more valid to you?
• Do you think that the costs of the imaging equipment should have been included?
• Did the team use the right approach to evaluation? Would a CMA have been acceptable?
• What is your reaction to the time trade-off technique?
• What is your recommendation for assessing the value of tele-dermatology?
• Would you be willing to adopt tele-dermatology for your health system?
• Should Medicare use economic evaluation in making coverage decisions?
• Congress has largely banned considering costs in making coverage decisions. Do you agree?
• Can you find published examples of CMA? CEA? CBA? CUA?
