“These results reinforce what many vascular specialists have long recognized—that atherectomy, when used in properly selected cases, offers a safe and effective option for patients with peripheral artery disease,” said Dr. Bob Tahara, a vascular surgeon
“The 2026 PFS proposed rule sends a strong signal that CMS recognizes the vital role of independent, office-based providers. This is a long-overdue correction that will help preserve patient choice and protect the future of community-based medicine.”
"For years, office-based interventional providers — many of them independent physicians serving rural and underserved communities — have faced a slow and steady erosion of reimbursement under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule."
We applaud @CMSGov for addressing practice expense inequities in the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule. We’ve submitted a comment letter in strong support of these reforms to protect community-based care. You can read the letter here ➡️ https://t.co/AQIMBXOj74

We are a coalition of physicians, care providers, advocates, and manufacturers working to improve awareness and prevention of peripheral artery disease (#PAD) and coronary artery disease (#CAD).
Are you taking charge of your health? Positive lifestyle changes reduces your risk of #PAD. Be sure to stay active and embrace a healthy diet. Your actions can make a significant difference!
Recent studies from @PhysAdvocacy & @AmerMedicalAssn show a concerning trend: more cardiovascular patients are facing significant $ strain due to care costs. This underscores the urgency of our mission — advocate for fair reimbursement models & prevent cost-driven access barriers
PAD disproportionately affects communities with limited access to vascular care. That’s why we are bringing together providers, advocates, & community stakeholders to raise awareness, promote screening, and reduce disparities in care.
Everyone—regardless of location or income—deserves access to high‑quality, affordable cardiovascular care.
At CVC, we're dedicated to breaking down barriers & ensuring equitable access for all. Together, we fight so geography or resources don’t limit one’s health.
