IAC Accreditation: A Higher Standard of Vascular Care
What Does IAC Accreditation Mean?
IAC accreditation is an independent evaluation process that assesses healthcare facilities against nationally recognized standards for quality, safety, and clinical performance. Accreditation is earned, not automatic, and requires clinics to demonstrate consistent protocols, qualified staff, and ongoing quality improvement.
At UVVC, select locations have earned IAC accreditation, reinforcing our commitment to delivering high-quality vascular care where accreditation applies.
Select United Vein & Vascular Centers locations hold the dual accreditation from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), reflecting rigorous standards for diagnostic accuracy, safety, and patient care.

What Does “Dual Accredited” Mean?
Some UVVC locations are dual accredited, meaning they have earned IAC accreditation in two distinct areas of care, such as:
- Vascular Testing (Ultrasound Imaging)
- Vein Treatment Services
Dual accreditation reflects an added level of review across both diagnostic imaging and clinical care processes, helping ensure accuracy, consistency, and patient safety throughout the evaluation and treatment journey.
Not all UVVC locations are accredited, and accreditation status may vary by clinic and service.
Why IAC Accreditation Matters
When you’re dealing with vein symptoms like leg heaviness, swelling, discomfort, or visible varicose veins, the accuracy of your evaluation matters. IAC accreditation signals that a clinic has demonstrated quality-focused practices designed to support:
- Reliable diagnostic testing and consistent imaging standards
- Patient safety protocols and clear clinical processes
- Qualified clinical teams and appropriate oversight
- Ongoing quality improvement (not just “one-and-done” compliance)
In other words: accreditation helps you feel confident that your care is being delivered with proven standards behind it.
UVVC’s Commitment to Quality Care Across All Locations
While not every UVVC clinic holds IAC accreditation, all locations follow standardized clinical protocols, emphasize patient education, and focus on evidence-based treatment planning.
Our accredited programs represent an extension of that commitment, highlighting locations that have undergone additional independent review for specific services.
Patients can always speak with their care team to understand what services are offered at their local clinic and what standards guide their care.

No. IAC accreditation applies only to select UVVC locations and specific services.
It means a location has earned IAC accreditation in two separate areas, such as vascular testing and vein treatment services.
Accreditation supports standardized processes and quality oversight, but your care plan is always based on your individual symptoms and clinical findings.
You can ask your care team directly or contact UVVC to learn more about accreditation status at your location.
