Medicare has issued a new National Coverage Decision for SGDs and the President signed the Steve Gleason Act.  These developments mark a new beginning for Medicare SGD coverage.  This session will explain the types and features of SGDs that Medicare will now cover and pay for; the additional capabilities and features that SGDs can offer; and how Medicare beneficiaries will be able to access those additional capabilities and features.  It also will explain how the 2015 NCD and Gleason Act will affect SLP assessment and reporting.
