#StopTheCap on Medicare B Therapy Benefits


TSPTA PT Delegate, Joshua Hill, has been working hard representing Texas students at the delegate conference calls and wants YOU to be a part of advocacy efforts to #StopTheCap on Part B Medicare therapy benefits.
What this means is once the cap is met (just $2010 for PT AND Speech Therapy COMBINED and $2010 for OT), individuals in Long Term Care will not be able to receive physical therapy unless they pay out of pocket. This forces many patients to stop receiving the physical therapy that they need to live long, healthy lives.
Please consider contacting the Texas legislators representing your area, or at least help spread awareness by sharing this post on your social media, to make our elders a priority and #StopTheCap
