How do you feel about the 2010 Medicare Therapy Caps and how do you believe it affects rehabilitation professionals?
It sucks. We have patients who have already maxed out their 1860 cap.
But Congress is supposed to reinstate the exceptions list soon (hopefully). I'm not going to worry about it just yet. It's happened in the past where there was a cap with no list of exceptions, and then they added the list and all was right with the world again.
Although if they don't add the exceptions list at all, then that'll be bad because other insurance companies tend to follow Medicare's footsteps.
will the cap be permanently lifted soon?
The cap will never be lifted, too much fraud going on.will the cap be permanently lifted soon?

I don't think its the Republicans blocking things, I think that they just don't get to it because it is a very very small piece of the budget pie. To us its a big deal, to them it is a rounding error.Legislation is continually proposed but republicans usually block everything.
Funny since I just saw a CSM post showing that functional capacity was a much better predictor of decreased hospital readmissions compared to multiple comorbidities

How's it looking now?It failed in 2015 for repeal by two votes. It's up now this year for another run. The spread was 58 to 42 and it needed 2 more for sixty. If you look at the vote spread it was split down the middle with republicans voting no repeal and demos voting repeal with a few outliers. They definitely got to it. They just didn't repeal it.
