ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The results of a new independent, nonpartisan study, commissioned by a coalition of health care provider groups, including the American Physical Therapy Association, show Medicare could save between $168 million and $242 million over 10 years by reducing administrative burdens on physical therapists and occupational therapists. These savings could help offset urgently needed changes necessary to improve access to therapy services for Medicare beneficiaries and to provide relief to rural and medically underserved areas of the country experiencing therapy workforce shortages. The win-win findings underscore the urgent need for Congress to pass pending legislation that would make those improvements possible.

Key Points: 
  • The win-win findings underscore the urgent need for Congress to pass pending legislation that would make those improvements possible.
  • The study, conducted by Dobson DaVanzo & Associates , looked at the potential financial impact of the Stabilizing Medicare Access to Rehabilitation and Therapy Act, or SMART Act (H.R.
  • The bill aims to exempt rural or underserved areas from a 15% Medicare payment cut implemented earlier this year when services are provided by an occupational therapy assistant or physical therapist assistant.
  • "Through the SMART Act we can improve access to physical and occupational therapy services while cutting red tape in Washington," said Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo.
