Article Synopsis
- Supervised exercise therapy (SET) is crucial for treating symptoms of peripheral artery disease (PAD), but referral and completion rates have been low despite its effectiveness and recent CMS reimbursement.
- A study reviewed 5 years of data post-reimbursement, finding that out of 5320 PAD patients, only 773 were referred to SET, with 415 actually enrolling and nearly half (49.9%) completing the program.
- The results demonstrated significant improvements in patient outcomes, highlighting the need for enhanced referral practices and greater access to SET as part of PAD treatment.
