SIR achieves IR advocacy victory in Rhode Island A bill directing private insurance companies to pay for uterine artery embolization to treat fibroids passed the Rhode Island state legislature and was signed into law by the governor on July 22.
SIR worked with the bill’s sponsor, Rhode Island State Representative Camille Vella-Wilkinson, D, to ensure UAE for the treatment of fibroids was included in this measure. Rep. Vella-Wilkinson invited SIR to send representatives to be part of Gov. Daniel J. McKee’s signing ceremony at the Rhode Island State House. John C. Lipman, MD, FSIR, and Theresa M. Caridi, MD, FSIR, represented SIR at the ceremony.
Under this new law, starting on Jan. 1, 2023, all insurance plans that cover obstetric and gynecological care must also provide coverage for a range of fibroid treatments to include uterine artery embolization, intraoperative ultrasound guidance and monitoring and radiofrequency ablation.
