The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA)announced that Congress has passed a bill that will postpone the 2 cuts in Medicare Part B reimbursement through the remainder of 2021, pending President Biden’s signature into law. The action extends a moratorium preventing reductions in reimbursement for audiology and speech-language pathology services, which were scheduled for implementation on April 1, according to ASHA. The planned reimbursement cuts were the result of a 2011 law requiring automatic reductions in programs, such as Medicare, to impose fiscal restraint on federal spending, referred to as sequestration.
