As of February 9th, 2018 Congress passed the Bipartisan Budget Act H.R. 1892 permanently repealing the Medicare therapy cap. Although, this is an improvement for therapy services there is a provision in the law that will decrease OTA and PTA reimbursement rates by 15% for treatment services effictive 2022.
The change in assistant riembursement rates will lead to a decrease in salarys and eventually available job opportunities. This will diminish the value of our professions and ultimately affecting patient care leading to a decrease in skilled services.
Please join our initiative to stop the planned change to PTA and OTA reimbursement rates.
