ACR Supports Updated PAD Coverage in Washington State

The Washington State Health Care Authority Health Technology Clinical Committee (HTCC) recently released its final findings and coverage decision for peripheral artery disease (PAD). The updated coverage decision reflects current clinical evidence and supports appropriate imaging and treatment for patients with vascular disease. ACR® previously expressed its support for updated coverage for PAD  and recognized the state for its revised policy.

ACR will continue to work with state leaders, federal agencies, and advisory panels to promote coverage policies that support high-quality, patient-centered care.

For questions about local coverage policies or this outreach, contact Alicia Blakey, ACR Manager of Economic Policy.
