PHLEBOLOGY

Since its inception, the AVLS has been the leading advocate for quality care, standards of practice and recognition of phlebology as a specialty. As a direct result of initiatives undertaken by the AVLS, the American Medical Association (AMA) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA) now recognize phlebology as a self-designated specialty. As a representative to the AMA House of Delegates since 2008, the AVLS has a direct voice on the floor of the AMA and in Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recommendations. The AVLS also has a direct influence in appointments to the CPT coding committee, the Residency Review Committee, and the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPTF)... The AVLS is the leading resource for venous and lymphatic care physicians, health professionals, and patients... AVLS seeks to improve the standards of medical practitioners, the quality of patient care and the level of assistance practitioners can access.
