Bipartisan “Three-Hour Rule” Bill Introduced to Improve Rehabilitation Therapy for Medicare Patients
On August 26, 2022, Representatives Joe Courtney (D-CT) and Glenn “GT” Thompson (R-PA) introduced a bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Representative G.K. Butterfield (D-NC), that would preserve expanded access to skilled rehabilitation therapies for Medicare patients, after the conclusion of the public health emergency. As a long-time advocate for this bill, AAPM&R is thrilled for its introduction to Congress.
