This made me laugh today in WA. But it’s no joke that gas prices impact all health providers including mobile FEESers.

Sometimes awareness starts with a story—and sometimes it starts with a voice people already know and love.

The Gaffigans helped shine a light on swallowing disorders after Jeannie Gaffigan experienced dysphagia following brain tumor surgery and complications affecting her ability to swallow. Their openness brought visibility to a condition that is often invisible, deeply personal, and life-changing.

By sharing their journey, they helped normalize conversations about dysphagia, feeding tubes, and swallow rehabilitation—reminding us that recovery is possible and that no one should feel alone in this experience.

A recent change the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) made to the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual jeopardizes access to care for Medicare beneficiaries and undermines state laws designed to regulate provisional licensees such as speech-language pathology clinical fellows (CFs). It also threatens the livelihood of CFs whose employment relies on the ability to submit claims to payers like Medicare.

Please sign this petition by June 25 to join us in imploring CMS to revise its interpretation of the term “licensure” to include the provisional licensure states issue to new graduates in the process of completing their supervised clinical mentorship: https://at.asha.org/Fv

ASHA is advocating for CMS to update its qualified provider requirements and has asked to meet with CMS staff to walk through the relevant federal and state legislative and regulatory history, explain why provisional licensure must be included in federal personnel qualifications for SLPs, and strongly advocate for their inclusion in Medicare. Keep an eye on ASHA Advocacy News for updates and email [email protected] if you have questions about Medicare policy and advocacy.

Thank you for your advocacy!

Big changes for CFs.🫤

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recently updated Chapter 15 of the Medicare Benefit Policy Manual to revise the definition of a qualified speech-language pathologist (SLP) for outpatient (Part B) services.
