Your voice matters. Comments are due by Sept. 11.

CMS has changed its approach to comment letters and now places higher emphasis on personal insights from individual providers. This quick podcast touches on what that shift is about, why now is the time for the physical therapy community to leverage that change, and how you can create your own letter (with APTA's help) by the Sept. 11 deadline.

Our Speaker
