URGENT: Zoom Link to Friday’s WA State SCS Coverage Hearing

At 8:00 am on Friday, February 16, 2024, the Washington State Health Technology Clinical Committee (WA HTCC) will meet via Zoom to establish the official spinal cord stimulation (SCS) coverage language that will affect more than 2.7 million Evergreen State residents.

As you may recall, testimony provided by the IPSIS-coordinated Washington State Physicians SCS Workgroup at the November 2023 meeting helped secure conditional coverage support. Now, it's time to finish the job.

We urge all Washington State interventional pain physicians and stakeholders to support access to comprehensive pain care by joining this call. Physicians and stakeholders outside of Washington State are also encouraged to join. A large, supportive showing will have a positive impact. Together the interventional pain community can send a unified message in support of appropriate access to SCS for patients in Washington State.

Meeting materials, including the agenda and link to join the webinar, can be accessed here.

IPSIS continues to work with other organizations to influence decisions made by the HTCC that directly impact you, your patients, and your community.
