Bone Up on What's Happening with DXA and VFA Cuts!

Thank you to all of our loyal ISCD members who responded to our calls to action.  During September and October 2006, we sent e-mails to ISCD members who live in key Congressional districts.  We targeted members of Congress who sit on the committees that make Medicare decisions.  We asked these members to urge CMS Administrator Mark McClellan to withdraw the proposed cuts to DXA and VFA.  Our staff and leadership have met with members of Congress, CMS administration and worked with other specialty societies to address this critical issue.  Click on the links below for more information about ISCD advocacy efforts.

ISCD MEMBERS SEND A MESSAGE TO CONGRESS AND CMS

Read excerpts from just a few of the hundreds of ISCD members across the country who responded to our calls to action with heartfelt letters about the effect of the DXA/VFA cuts on access to patient care. From small rural practices to large urban imaging centers, the message was the same: the cuts will be devastating for the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis.
