Watch Our Webinar: What You Need to Know About Medicare’s Proposed TAVR Decision and How to Lend Your Voice to Make a Difference

April 16, 2019 Webinars

Did you miss our webinar on April 16th, 2019? You can tune in now! Be sure to download the slides.

On March 26, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released its updated proposed decision on Medicare coverage for a less-invasive heart valve disease treatment called transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

Unfortunately, the update continues to base patient access on hospitals’ procedural volume ahead of equal access and quality care for patients. The extensive data from seven years of TAVR procedures shows that there is no longer a relationship between volume and health outcomes.

After you’ve watched the webinar, click here to submit your comment to CMS!

Patients diagnosed with heart valve disease hear words like: stenosis, regurgitation, heart failure, valve repair or replacement, blood thinners, tissue or mechanical valves, open heart surgery or minimally invasive procedure. And that list doesn’t even include any of the tests! Feeling unsure while navigating decisions about treatment is completely normal. If you or a loved one is in this situation, you’ve earned the right to feel anxious.
