Medicare May Stop Covering Less Invasive Skin Cancer Treatments

Tell Washington Bureaucrats: Patients and Doctors Should Decide — Not You
 

Right now, bureaucrats  are proposing changes that could eliminate coverage for Image-Guided Superficial Radiation Therapy (IGSRT) — a safe, effective, non-surgical option for treating common skin cancers.

If they succeed, thousands of seniors may be forced into more invasive procedures like surgery — even when a gentler alternative is available.

What’s Happening:

Medicare is trying to cut off coverage for IGSRT, even though:

It’s safe and effective

It’s currently covered

98% of patients using it today are on Medicare

This isn’t about safety. It’s not about results.

It’s about control — and it strips the choice away from patients and their doctors.

The Time to Act Is Running Out:

You have the power to speak up before this decision is finalized.

In less than a minute, you can send a message directly to the Medicare bureaucrats responsible for this policy. Tell them to protect patient choice and preserve coverage for IGSRT.

Take Action Now

Tell Medicare: Don’t eliminate coverage for safe, effective treatment options.
