📣 Help us protect pediatric speech therapy!
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed an unexpected change for 2027 that could lead to severe reimbursement cuts for pediatric speech-language pathology services. If finalized, this ruling risks damaging access to vital, life-changing care for children across the country who rely on these specialized services.
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) has launched a formal petition urging CMS to reject these harmful pediatric code adjustments.
