A GOP lawmaker is asking the House Energy and Commerce Committee to investigate whether CMS Administrator Tom Scully "violated rules of conduct" in an e-mail sent to a Gallup official, and to determine if the agency has engaged in "questionable conduct" in selecting the methodology favored by one company to run a hospital quality evaluation pilot program. However, CMS pointed out that the methodology only applies to the pilot program, that the agency is welcoming input and that the "process is still open."
