Protect Access to Therapy for Individuals with Brain Injury

March 19, 2014

Please call today and ask Congress to stop providing short-term solutions to the Medicare therapy caps and pass a permanent fix to the Medicare therapy caps. Congress must provide a solution by March 31, 2014 or one million Medicare beneficiaries, including individuals with brain injury, will lose access to critical outpatient therapy services. Now is the time for the U.S. Congress to repeal the Medicare therapy caps — please call today.
