Per the 2020 CMS final rule, rehab therapists will see an across-the-board 8% reduction to payments in 2021—and that’s on top of the 15% reduction to payments for PTA and OTA services in 2022. Advocacy efforts to persuade CMS to reverse this decision are in full swing, and who better to advocate for better Medicare therapy benefits than patients themselves? To make it as easy as possible for therapists to mobilize their patients to support this important initiative, we’ve created a prewritten letter (which you can download below) that patients can sign and mail to CMS and/or their state government representatives.
