Medicare Access to Rehabilitation Services Act of 2005

The Medicare Access to Rehabilitation Services Act of 2005 proposes to permanently remove the annual financial limits, or "caps," on outpatient therapy services for Medicare beneficiaries. Under this bill, patients would no longer face a predetermined dollar ceiling on the amount of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology services they can receive in a single year. The legislation aims to ensure that seniors and individuals with disabilities can continue to receive medically necessary rehabilitation treatments without the risk of losing coverage once a specific spending limit is reached.
