CMS Reverses Its Interpretation of a Qualified SLP:
Clinical Fellows Cleared to Bill Medicare
We're pleased to share important news from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). As of July 28, 2025, CMS has confirmed that it is reversing its previous guidance regarding the qualifications of provisional licensees, including clinical fellows (CFs), to now align with state licensure requirements. This allows individuals holding provisional licenses to provide services to Medicare beneficiaries-provided they meet their respective state's licensure requirements. Thank you for your advocacy and efforts in helping to make this outcome possible.
