SCOTA Legislative efforts paid off! Occupational Therapy can now continue to provide therapy via telehealth under Medicaid following the national emergency order. We need your donation! We can only continue legislative efforts with your support. We are currently working on practitioner concerns related to Medicaid, BabyNet, MCO, and private insurance. |
