SIR asks physicians to sign the Federation for Pain Care Access (FPCA) petition to help demonstrate to Congress the impact these LCDs would have on patient care across the nation. Both the MACs and Congress must hear from us to ensure we maintain access to essential pain management treatments for your patients. Patient care shouldn’t be determined by ZIP code, but by medical need as determined by physicians.
