Talking Points
- I am a constituent and an individual with a brain injury, caregiver, or a brain injury professional and I am concerned about the Medicare therapy caps.
- The therapy cap impacts Medicare beneficiaries, like individuals with brain injury, who need rehabilitation services the most. Repealing the Medicare therapy cap would ensure high-quality, ongoing treatment and remove the uncertainty of care for both therapy providers and recipients.
- Individuals who sustain brain injuries must have access to comprehensive rehabilitation with therapies of sufficient scope, duration, and intensity that allow them to regain lost skills and live as independently as possible.
- Please support The Medicare Access to Rehabilitation Services Act (H.R. 807/S. 253)
