If you want to pay for time spent with patients @SeemaCMS #physicaltheralists DO that. Also, why is there?
A payment reduction for doing >1 procedure?
Equivalent pay for longer “high complexity” evaluations?
PTs help during #opioid epidemic and #COVID.
Just, WHY???

@SeemaCMS if this is the case you need to reconsider the proposed 9% cut to #physicaltherapy services. We spend an exceptional amount of 1:1 time with patients and have seen continued reductions in payment for our services.We are invaluable in providing non-opioid pain treatment

It's horrible @CMS won't do the right thing and take care of their beneficiaries. They should be ashamed! @HHSGov @Surgeon_General @GOPLeader @KamalaHarris @SenFeinstein @ABC

Please help make this possible for our seniors during this pandemic. Only takes a couple of minutes. Thanks!
CMS can expand access to physical therapy during the #COVID19 crisis by allowing physical & occupational therapists to provide telehealth services to Medicare beneficiaries.

“Precluding therapy professionals from Medicare telehealth reimbursements: a significant lack of access for beneficiaries relying on care...critical to living independently.”—4/14/20 letter to HHS, 8 congressmembers @realDonaldTrump @FoxNews @AARP @CMSgovPress @SeemaCMS @CNN

The biggest issue is that we (the providers) have to tell the patients that this doesn't apply to our care making US look like the bad guy.... @SeemaCMS beneficiaries need to know that they are being DENIED CARE or worse FORCED to have in-person care when they are high risk!

CMS still has work to do. Make PTs, OTs & SLPs telehealth providers so seniors can get the care we provide without unnecessary exposure to covid 19. @CMSGov @SeemaCMS @GOPLeader @Surgeon_General
Some states are red
Some states are blue
Physical therapists are still not CMS telehealth providers
@SeemaCMS knows what they should do.

Hey @CMSgov and @SeemaCMS- another day if Medicare beneficiaries having to live with pain and functional limitation because they can’t attend physical therapy OR USE TELEHEALTH to make their lives better. DO SOMETHING for them by paying PT’s to treat using #telehealth

Can Physical Therapist please be added to telehealth services for Medicare Part B therapy services this week. These folks really need care and they are being left out.
Good Monday morning @CMSGov @CMSgovPress @SeemaCMS. Are we still making seniors choose between remaining in pain or risk getting the virus by coming to outpatient therapy clinics? Let’s stop this silliness. Make therapists approved providers of PT/OT/SLP. @realDonaldTrump

Hey @SeemaCMS @CMSGov Medicare patients are in urgent need for their therapy service and shouldn’t be leaving their homes. Get with the program and serve your patients. Pay for telehealth!!!! #PhysicalTherapy #Telemedicine #telehealth #therapyservices

Can I get some help from my fellow Swifities and @taylornation13? We need Medicare to reimburse rehab providers for telehealth services! All populations deserve the opportunity to receive telehealth during this time!
Medicare extends PT/OT/SLP services to seniors via telehealth, but won’t pay for PTs/OTs/SLPs to perform it. Makes no sense under normal circumstances. It’s dangerous now. @CMSGov @realDonaldTrump @SeemaCMS @AARP

Medicare beneficiaries need our care! PTs, OTs & SLPs need to be telehealth providers! I cant believe this hasnt been done yet.🤯Our older adults deserve access to our services w/o putting their health at risk! @SeemaCMS @CMSGov @HHSGov @GOPLeader @SenFeinstein @SenKamalaHarris
AOTA, APTA, and ASHA call on HHS and CMS to take immediate steps to ensure patient safety and protect HCPs by expanding the providers eligible to furnish telehealth services under Medicare to include OTs, PTs, and SLPs during this public health emergency. bit.ly/33XgNKM
