We are elated to let you know that the advocacy efforts of ASHA, WSHA, and 36 other states have worked! CMS contacted ASHA indicating it has reversed their decision on CF's billing Medicare Part B.  

From ASHA to State Leaders this morning: 

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.
