“I agree that CMS needs to develop a process to permit medically necessary Part B therapy services that exceed the cap in a timely manner.

I would hope that CMS would provide an outline as to how they envision the exceptions process to work so that beneficiaries needing therapy services beyond the $1,740 caps receive the therapy they need if medically necessary.”
