STOP THE MEDICARE THERAPY CAP NOW

This is getting serious. There is a chance that the therapy cap exceptions process will not be extended after the end of March.

If this stands:

• Use of the KX modifier to charge for medically necessary services above the cap provided after March 31, 2014 will not be allowed
• Medicare will not pay any more than $1920 for PT/Speech combined, or more than $1920 for OT for all of 2014
• It will have a huge financial impact on your practice, and, more importantly, would be devastating for your patients who need your care the most.
  

What You Need to Do Now:

• Ask your patients, friends and family for help.  Ask them to let Congress know that the arbitrary, unfair Therapy Cap needs to end now.  The APTA has provided a resource to make this easy for them to do:  Stop the Therapy Cap
