“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.”

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.
42
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.
