    ๐Ÿ“ขThe Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued its 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule, which includes a 2.8% cut to Medicare Part B payments. On top of that, Medicare providers face other cuts that could result in a total payment cut of nearly 9% in 2025 if Congress does not act.

    Congress can intervene and stop the cuts, but they need to hear from us, their constituents, about how these cuts impact service providers and those we serve!๐Ÿ”Š

    Your input is needed to urge Congress to fully address the multiple sources of payment cuts, including passing H.R. 2474, the Strengthening Medicare for Patients and Providers Act. This bipartisan bill would help to provide budget stability and improve the quality of care Medicare patients receive.

    Take action and click below to urge your members of Congress to cosponsor H.R. 2474.

    I'm curious! What are your thoughts on politics and speech-language pathology? Should we include political discussions in our industry? Why?? What's your take?

    I just read a bilinguistics article indicating "burnout rates are as high as 50 percent for physicians" (Bilinguistics, 2021). (You can view the full article HERE: https://bilinguistics.com/slp-burnout/).

    My theory is if more SLPs learned about how to live their life purpose and practice SLP authentically, we would reduce burnout and increase SLP retention.

    As a certified hypnosis practitioner, I've helped aspiring SLPs pass the SLP Praxisยฎ exam using visualization strategies. Research hypnosis helps test takers reduce their test and general anxieties (Pachaiappan, et al., 2023).

    Still skeptical? See the full article here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311908.2023.2281745

    I feel that this is the best kept secret in our field. Did you know there is a phonemic inventory list that helps us learn the dialectal differences in several different cultures??? You can view them HERE: https://www.asha.org/practice/multicultural/phono/
