As you likely know, CMS has proposed a 7% cut in the Medicare payment rates scheduled to take effect January 1st, 2021. Multiple vascular societies are encouraging their members to contact their US Representative and US Senators to prevent these cuts, and the AVF is proud to be engaged in this effort. Please read the letter, and make your voice heard. Time is of the essence. Thank you.
