Your physical therapists (PT) and the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) are lobbying Congress to make sure that the therapy services you receive remain covered by Medicare.

This afternoon, the House decided not to vote on the Reid-McConnell Amendment to HR 3630 - The Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2011 which was passed by the Senate and provided a two month fix to the SGR and therapy cap exceptions process along with other provisions. Instead, the House voted to create a conference committee to negotiate the differences between the House and Senate passed bills.
If the House and Senate cannot come to an agreement on a package before December 31, 2011, the therapy cap will go into effect on January 1, 2012. Furthermore, a scheduled 27.4% cut to provider payments under the Medicare physician fee schedule will be implemented. It is critical that Congress address these devastating caps and cuts as soon as possible. |
