Pennsylvania state representative asks for therapy cap action
Rehab Private Practice Alert, June 7, 2006
Pennsylvania Rep. Philip English recently wrote a letter to the members of the House Ways and Means and Energy and Commerce committees asking them to consider legislation to extend the exceptions process to the Medicare therapy caps in 2007, reported the US Fed News.
"Whether a person receives speech, occupational, or physical therapy, it should be a decision between a doctor and a patient, not by accountants monitoring a set limit," he wrote.
English said he has the support of more than 250 members of the House of Representatives. The letter addressed small complications to the exceptions process in 2006, but English wrote in the letter that those problems can be fixed over the next six months.
