Senate Passes Extension of the Exceptions Process
Late last night, the Senate passed legislation to temporarily halt the 21% reduction in the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule and resume the therapy caps exceptions process. H.R. 4691, which passed in the House last week, was passed by the Senate through a vote of 78 to 19. This bill provides a short-term extension to the therapy caps exceptions process retroactive to January 1, 2010. The bill also extends the moratorium on the scheduled cut in the physician fee schedule. Both provisions are slated to expire on March 31, 2010. It is anticipated that President Obama will sign the bill later today.
Congress hopes to use this time to negotiate a slightly longer extension to expire at the end of 2010. ASHA, along with over 40 patient, consumer, and provider groups, participated in a press conference this morning on Capitol Hill thanking Congress for the short-term fix while shifting the focus to a long-term permanent solution for the therapy caps and physician fee schedule.
For more information regarding congressional action related to the therapy caps, please contact Stefanie Reeves by e-mail at sreeves@asha.org.

ArSHA 2010 Silent Auction |
|
Wednesday, 06 January 2010 |
It’s not too early to begin thinking about the annual ArSHA Silent Auction.
The Silent Auction will take place during the ArSHA Annual Convention which will be held April 23-24 in Tempe, AZ. Viewing of the items and bidding will take place on April 23 from 8:00am to 4:00pm and on April 24 from 8:00am to 1:00pm. Proceeds from this event will benefit ArSHA’s projects to build awareness of the field of speech-language pathology and audiology.
As a change this year, members and attendees are invited to donate items or gift baskets for the auction. I encourage you to pull together a group of co-workers and/or friends to create a basket to donate to ArSHA that will highlight your practice, school district, university, or rehab department. Perhaps we could get some friendly competition and bidding between groups as you help to create revenue for ArSHA’s works. You will be recognized on the ArSHA web page and in the convention brochure.
And any individual or member of a group who donates a gift basket or item worth at least $50.00 will be entered into a drawing to win one free registration for the 2011 ArSHA Annual Convention. Use the donation form today to donate an item or basket.
Karen LaBrozzi,
ArSHA Public Relations Chair
Thank you for supporting ArSHA and the Silent Auction.
