An extension to the Medicare Outpatient Therapy Cap has been passed and will remain in effect for the very short term until April 1. This also affects any claims since January 1, 2010 when the cap went into effect. Medicare and Medicaid will pay all claims form January 1 through March 31, thanks to this legislation.
We are excited to share this news and see it as a very positive sign that Congress has heard our collective voice and understands the need to find a longer-term solution. We urge you to contact your legislators asking for this. The AOTA Legislative Action Center makes it easy to contact lawmakers with letter templates and talking points.
