BIG NEWS! We heard from many of you that it was difficult to get time off to travel to see our amazing speakers. In response, both speakers for the MSHA Conference will have a hybrid format. Presentations will be available in-person or online on their respective days only; no recording will be made available after the Conference dates. Sign up today at MSHA online.org!

Members: Check your emails! CPT code 92507 is undergoing a valuation review. This does not mean it will definitely change, and any changes would not take effect until January 2027. However, it is in all of our best interests as SLPs to become educated on this issue and get involved in sharing our expertise. MSHA Board members Michael Crews (President), Jenni Kingan and Kelsey Storm (STARS/STAMPS representatives) have created a document to help inform SLPs of proposed changes. Members received the PDF in their email. The AMA comment period for these changes is open NOW (March 6-31). Keep an eye out for updates and more information about how you can (and should) comment. Information also available at our website.

Attention Montana SLPs:
Potential changes to CPT 92507 are under consideration through the American Medical Association CPT process. These types of coding decisions can influence clinical workflow, documentation, and reimbursement across all practice settings.

There are opportunities for clinicians to submit written comments between March 6-31st and provide oral feedback at the meetings April 30-May 2nd during this process.

We encourage Montana clinicians to review the issue and consider participating. MSHA will soon provide detailed instructions and resources on our website explaining how to get involved.
More information coming soon!
