CMS-1403-FC
● Section 1835(a) of the Act is amended to specify
that payment may be made for outpatient SLP services to a
provider of services, including a clinic, rehabilitation
agency or public health agency that meets the requirements
described in the amended section 1861(p)(4)(A) and (B) of
the Act.
● Section 1861(p) of the Act is amended to remove
from the definition of “outpatient physical therapy
services” SLP services furnished by or under arrangements
or supervision of a provider. These SLP services are
deleted from the definition of outpatient physical therapy
services because SLP services are now defined separately
under section 1861(ll)(2) of the Act.
● Section 1861(s)(2)(D) of the Act is amended to add
outpatient SLP services as medical and other health
services, along with outpatient PT and OT.
● Section 1862(a)(20) of the Act is amended to add
SLP services to the list of therapy services for which
Medicare payment cannot be made if furnished as an incident
to a physician’s professional services unless standards and
conditions specified by the Secretary (other than
licensing) are met, as such standards and conditions would
apply to such services if furnished by a therapist.
