SCAI Participates in Multispecialty Comments on Proposed National Coverage Determination (NCD) for TAVR

On June 15, CMS issued its proposed decision memo for TAVR. This opened the final 30-day comment period on changes to the existing National Coverage Determination. Most of the proposed changes aligned with the SCAI member survey.
