?? Colorado SLPs: We need your voice! ?? The Joint Budget Committee voted to cut Medicaid reimbursement for therapy services by adopting Medicare’s MPPR policy—even though it's not federally required for Medicaid. This cut ONLY targets SLPs, OTs, and PTs, and puts client access and clinic sustainability at risk. We’re asking the State Senate to reverse this decision—and we need YOU. ?? https://lnkd.in/gMTsSpmh ?? Take 2 minutes to send a message to your senator. The link below generates a pre-written letter and sends it directly to them. ?? Budget debate starts MONDAY. ?? Let’s stand together for fair, equitable Medicaid reimbursement. #cshaco #medicaid #reimbursement #advocacy #SLP #healthcare #coloradotherapists #PT #OT

Great news! The federal government has updated telehealth policies, extending Medicare patients' access to telehealth services through September 30th, 2025. ????
