CMS Payment Reduction for Therapy Services

push back against these false choices.

I strongly oppose cuts to payment for essential OT, PT, and SLP services. without these services, my child and many others will suffer needlessly.

This is one of the most valuable services one can receive, after hip, knee and other surgeries. Why would Medicare do this? I speak as a recipient of these services and they were key to my recovery!

All therapies are critical to quality of life and reduce medical costs overall. Limiting reimbursements for therapies is short sighted and a poor use of resources.

YES!

Rates are already so low it’s difficult to stay viable. The industry can not sustain with further cuts.

Strongly oppose

I oppose the reduction in payments for skilled therapy

No to OT Service cuts!

This will be detrimental to therapists and small practices, please reconsider the proposed cut.

I strongly oppose cms’s significant payment reduction for OT, PT, and SLP.

I work in the nursing homes for the last 40 years I am terrified that because of limited rehab Patients are loosing lives to pneumonia deconditioning contractures It is affecting their quality of life As an OT they cut our saliaries I strongly recommend to improve our quality We have 6 years of college and dept

These therapy services are needed by so many. Cuts like these will be detrimental to the businesses that provide them. Please reconsider this action.

This cut would be detrimental to our aging population.

You need to reimburse more.

I support fully funding services for OT and OTA.

Do not do this please.

This will undoubtedly have a negative impact on families in need of services and practitioners providing necessary services.

As a parent who’s child benefits from therapy, as a speech language pathologist who provides therapy and as the owner of a multidisciplinary pediatric therapy practice, I highly agree with this request!!!

Therapies help give hope to families and little ones.
