Thank you for taking action to help increase payments for occupational therapy services under Medicare. 

A final version of the Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law on July 4th. The bill included a one time increase in outpatient Medicare payments of 2.5% for 2026.  Read more about the final provisions that were included in the bill. 

We will continue to advocate for permanent changes to the Medicare payments and increases in payments for OT services. You can find AOTA's current advocacy opportunities by visiting www.aota.org/takeaction.
