Spring
2007
Capitol City Speech therapists participated in this important event:
On Monday, April 2nd, 2007 40 ASHA members, who were attending the annual ASHA SLP conference on health care, visited their Senators and Representatives and asked them to cosponsor H.R.1774 and S.45. H.R. 1774 and S.45 would allow SLPs in private practice to treat Medicare patients and seek reimbursement from Medicare for those services. Further, Medicare beneficiaries would have greater choice in where to receive SLP services. This is especially important for beneficiaries in rural and minority communities who often need to travel a great distance to obtain SLP services.
