This afternoon, President Obama signed my legislation with Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins into law. The law will delay Medicare’s enforcement of unreasonable and inflexible direct supervision rules for outpatient therapy services at Critical Access Hospitals and other small, rural hospitals in 2014. Making certain Kansans have access to quality health care remains one of my top priorities in Congress. Passage of this law is a positive development, and I plan to reintroduce legislation in the new Congress to address this issue on a permanent basis. Thanks to Congresswoman Jenkins for her extraordinary efforts on this legislation in the House of Representatives.
