Payment and Legislative Updates

Advocacy is Making a Difference!!!

Medicare Advantage (MA) will now have a reduced administrative burden and greater consistency per a CMS announcement. The APTA supported these provisions! Let’s take the WIN and continue working to make a difference for our profession and our patients.

Advocating for physical therapy really is making a difference. Here is a great opportunity to join hundreds of other APTA members on Capitol Hill.

Take Action:

Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act (H.R. 2474) introduced. This bipartisan bill would allow for an annual inflationary update to the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. This would help stabilize the Fee Schedule and is a great first step for true reform. Take action on this bill by visiting the Legislative and Patient Action Centers.

Fraud Elimination Bill Introduced: A bill we are endorsing and monitoring is on electromyography and cutting down fraud and abuse with mobile labs. The bill is called the Electrodiagnostic Medicine Patient Protection and Fraud Elimination Act (H.R. 2639).

Pelvic Health Bill: The Optimizing Postpartum Outcomes Act (H.R. 2480) would help raise awareness on the importance of pelvic health physical therapy for postpartum mothers. Take action on this bill by visiting the Legislative and Patient Action Centers. APTA Patient Action Center | APTA


Regulatory Update

 FY 2024 IRF Proposed Rule: The Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility (IRF) proposed rule has only major payment updates; 3.7%payment increase. There is an inflationary update using updated data.

FY 2024 SNF Proposed Rule: The Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) rule also contains an inflationary update and includes a proposed estimated $1.2 billion increase in payments to SNFs. We were expecting minimum staffing requirements in the rule but they are not currently.


Thank you to APTA members who helped with this legislation!
