📉 Since 2017, Medicare has slashed payments for vascular access procedures by 39%, causing over 20% of centers to close and a 30% drop in services. Dialysis patients are at risk.📢 It’s time for payment stability! Visit here to learn how 👉dialysisvascularaccess.org/priorities

🏥 VACs provide lifesaving, same-day care for dialysis patients⚠️But they’re under threat from Medicare payment instability.🛡️ Support policies that keep VACs open and urge Congress to pass the Promoting Fairness for Medicare Providers Act win.newmode.net/obfa/action

High catheter use = higher infection risk for dialysis patients. VACs help lower those rates—but ongoing #Medicare cuts make it harder for them to operate. 🚨 We need reform to protect patients' access to quality care! Visit win.newmode.net/obfa/action to learn how!

Vascular access is a dialysis patient’s lifeline. DVAC supports policies that promote dialysis vascular access in the ASC and office settings, where the outcomes are superior.

🏥 Vascular Access Centers (VACs) are specialized, patient-focused centers dedicated to providing vascular access creation and preservation services in the office or ASC setting.

Since 2017, office-based vascular access services have decreased by over 30%, impacting patient care. DVAC is fighting to protect the ability for dialysis patients to have the right vascular access.

ASCs are a safe, specialized, patient-preferred setting. VACs and ASCs are separate and distinct from centers where ESRD patients receive dialysis treatment through a dialysis machine (which acts like an artificial kidney to filter out toxins and remove excess fluid).

Patients would far prefer a free-standing ASC or physician office setting for their access care. They are convenient, focused on kidney patients, cost less, and patients pay less out of pocket.

Join us in advocating for policies that protect dialysis patients and support vascular access specialists. Better policy = better outcomes.

For dialysis patients, vascular access is their lifeline. Protecting and improving access care is critical to survival and quality of life. #DialysisAccess #KidneyCare

Too many patients face delays and barriers to vascular access care. DVAC is working to ensure timely, specialized treatment is always available. #PatientAccess #HealthEquity

Some vascular access specialists may face a 20% cut in the next 5 years.

Vascular access is a lifeline for patients with end-stage renal disease. Join us as we work to ensure equitable access, educate communities, and drive innovation in the pursuit of improved kidney health outcomes. #AccessForAll #KidneyWellness

Over 80% of patients in the U.S. start hemodialysis with a catheter—but it doesn’t have to be this way. Explore strategies to reduce catheter rates through planning, education, and care coordination: dialysisvascularaccess.org/reducing-cathe… #Dialysis #VascularAccess #KidneyHealth

Every dialysis patient needs a Vascular Access Life Plan—a personalized, evolving roadmap for access care. It supports shared decision-making and better outcomes. Learn more: dialysisvascularaccess.org/vascular-acces… #Dialysis #VascularAccess #PatientCare

Up to 69% of patients had no vascular access plan before starting dialysis. A Vascular Access Life Plan can change that.

Our #healthcare system, including local vascular access centers, is in jeopardy with ongoing #Medicare reimbursement cuts to office-based providers. We must protect access to life-sustaining care. #HealthcareCrisis #PatientAccess

Vascular access centers (VACs) provide dialysis patients: 👍 Better quality of life 🩺 More specialized care 🏥 Fewer hospital admissions and infections

At hospitals, it is rarely possible to receive rapid and effective treatment due to lengthy wait times and, consequently, the use of central line catheters becomes more common. That's why we need to protect ASCs.
