Your Input Needed on 2026 Proposed Medicare Rules
By Anne Jones, BSN, RVT, RDMS, FSVU, SVU Advocacy Chair
In July, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) Proposed Rule and the 2026 Medicare Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment (OPPS) Proposed Rule. These proposed changes include updates to vascular ultrasound reimbursement, site neutrality policies, and Ambulatory Payment Classifications that directly affect our field.
The SVU Advocacy Committee is preparing formal comments to CMS on behalf of our members. To do this effectively, we need your input. Even if you do not anticipate being directly impacted, your perspective will help us understand the broader landscape and advocate for vascular ultrasound professionals with a strong, evidence-based voice.
