Update! SCOTA Collaboration WIN For Changes to the Medicaid Policy Draft

We know the recent policy draft proposal regarding SLP billing codes and prior authorization with SC Medicaid was concerning, and we have an incredible update to share today:

The policy recommendations will not be implemented as presented in the draft. We are engaging in discussions with the state Medicaid agency, SC DHHS.

Thank you to the many members who supported SCOTA in the last week. We are VERY grateful to DHHS for their engagement with us, and the united efforts of SCOTA, SCAPTA and SCSHA.

We will share any future updates on this topic with members as the information becomes available!

Lindsay Kale, M.S., OTR/L

SCOTA President
