It’s Time to SPEAK: Part 3 - How to Write a CMS Comment That Matters

The data is collected. Now it’s time to make sure CMS hears from SLPs.

In Part 3 of It’s Time to SPEAK, Jeanette Benigas, PhD/SLP, and Emily Watkins, MCD/SLP, walk through the new SPEAK Project CMS Comment Builder and explain exactly what clinicians and practice owners should tell CMS about reimbursement, workload, patient access, and the real-world consequences of the proposed 2027 Medicare payment changes.

If you submitted economic data to the SPEAK Project, wait until September 10 to build your comment so you can incorporate the aggregated findings. Everyone else can start now.

And don’t wait until the last minute.

Visit SPEAKProject.net to build your CMS comment, mobilize the Friends of SLPs in your life, and help fund the legal and lobbying team that will carry this work forward.
