Washington State VKS Coverage Hearing

REGISTRATION IS OPEN UNTIL 1/16/2025, FOR INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS WISHING TO PROVIDE PUBLIC COMMENT ON 1/31/2025

On January 31, 2025, the Washington State Health Technology Clinical Committee (WA HTCC) will meet via Zoom to establish the official vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, and sacroplasty (VKS) coverage language that will affect more than 2.7 million Evergreen State residents.

We urge all Washington State interventional pain physicians and stakeholders to support access to comprehensive pain care by joining this call. 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 VKS for patients in Washington State.

To present, by Thursday, January 16, 2025, email Shtap@hca.wa.gov with a completed HTCC conflict of interest disclosure and an electronic copy of any slides that will accompany your comments, including your name and if applicable, the organization(s) you represent.
