OT Potential Podcast | Occupational Therapy CEUs #111 Medicare Cuts & Opportunities with Dana Strauss
When you adjust for inflation, OT and PT reimbursement is down around 40% since 2002 on our key CPT codes.
Now the 2026 Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule has ANOTHER cut to OT written in pencil. We simply cannot sustain continued cuts to the value of our services.
So, we clearly need to reconsider our advocacy approach and identify key opportunities to help influence meaningful change..
At OT Potential we are equipping YOU to raise your voice. We are going to spend an hour diving deep into the relevant parts of the new proposed rule, so you can understand the challenges and opportunities. We’ll be led by The incredible Dana Strauss, a doctor of physical therapy and healthcare public policy expert.
We’ll share the comment letter that OT Potential has drafted to share with CMS, so you have a template to work from by the deadline on Sept. 12th.
