Each year, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) revises Medicare policies impacting reimbursement of occupational therapy services. Learn what Medicare policies are in store for 2026, how these policies will impact day-to-day delivery of occupational therapy services, and find out about AOTA's advocacy priorities for the coming year.
Celebrate occupational therapy all year long!
Though OT Month will continue to be commemorated each April, we believe that the profession deserves year-round celebration in honor of its profound and often life-changing impact on the lives of patients, caregivers, and communities it serves.
