Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1939 PA 280, entitled"The social welfare act,"(MCL 400.1 to 400.119b) by adding section 109z.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Social Welfare Act to ensure that speech-language pathologists (professionals who diagnose and treat communication and swallowing disorders) can seek reimbursement for audiological rehabilitation and speech-language therapy services, regardless of existing departmental rules or regulations that might previously have restricted such reimbursement. Specifically, the bill states that a speech-language pathologist who is licensed to practice in Michigan can seek reimbursement for these services, even if they do not hold a Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC), which is a professional certification typically issued by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. This provision appears designed to expand access to speech and hearing services by removing potential administrative barriers that might have limited reimbursement options for licensed speech-language pathologists.
