Reimbursement Nuances After the Proposed Rule โ€” New SLP Code Playbook, Part 2

August 12 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
$99

๐Ÿ“… Wednesday, August 12, 2026 ยท 2:00 PM Central ยท 90-minute live webinar (recording included)

CMS’s proposed rule lands in July 2026 with the first real reimbursement numbers for the 10 new SLP codes. This session breaks down exactly what those numbers mean for your specific payer mix, service mix, and patient population โ€” before the final rule locks anything in.


What You Will Learn

  • What the proposed values actually mean for your clinic โ€” translating national rate proposals into your specific revenue picture
  • Payer-by-payer nuance โ€” how commercial and state Medicaid plans typically track (or diverge from) the CMS proposed rule
  • Where to focus your advocacy โ€” if there’s a window to weigh in during the public comment period, we’ll tell you
