Franklin G. Miller, PhD and Steven D. Pearson, MD, MSc Medical Care (2008), Volume 46 (7): 746-751 Abstract: Coverage with evidence development (CED) is an evolving method of providing provisional access to novel medical interventions while generating the evidence needed to determine whether unconditional coverage is warranted. In this article we review the policy rationale for CED and present a normative analysis that addresses ethical concerns and policy implications. Key Words: health insurance, coverage, Medicare, clinical research, coercion
