An accomplished physical therapist, Dr. Grace Walker leverages more than three decades of experience in her current practice, Walker Physical Therapy and Pain Center, where she works with patients to help treat a range of conditions. In an effort to stay abreast of new advances in her field and network with her peers, Dr. Grace Walker maintains membership in the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). For upwards of 20 years, AOTA has lobbied Congress in opposition to imposing annual therapy caps that are in place for Medicare patients who are receiving occupational, physical, or speech-language therapy. Earlier this year, lawmakers finally lifted those caps as part of the new two-year budget agreement that was signed into law in February. By the time the law passed, some patients were already in danger of reaching the $2,010 cap, which had originally gone into effect in January. With the new budget legislation, however, providers won’t have to worry about potentially turning patients away.
