Update! SCOTA Collaboration WIN For Changes to the Medicaid Policy Draft

We know the recent policy draft proposal regarding SLP billing codes and prior authorization with SC Medicaid was concerning, and we have an incredible update to share today:

The policy recommendations will not be implemented as presented in the draft. We are engaging in discussions with the state Medicaid agency, SC DHHS.

Thank you to the many members who supported SCOTA in the last week. We are VERY grateful to DHHS for their engagement with us, and the united efforts of SCOTA, SCAPTA and SCSHA.

We will share any future updates on this topic with members as the information becomes available!

Urgent - Please complete this survey if you currently have an OT School-based Caseload

SC - OT School-based Caseload Caps

Who should complete this survey?

This survey is intended for Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Occupational Therapy Assistants (OTAs) who currently provide occupational therapy services in school-based settings. Respondents should answer based on their current school-based workload, caseload, responsibilities, and service delivery expectations.

Purpose of the Survey

The purpose of this survey is to collect data on the caseloads, responsibilities, service delivery demands, and time requirements of school-based Occupational Therapy Practitioners (OTPs). Information gathered will help identify current caseload patterns, workload expectations, and factors that influence the amount of time required to provide effective occupational therapy services in school settings. The findings may be used to inform discussion and development of evidence-informed recommendations regarding appropriate school-based OT caseload caps and workload standards. Survey closes October 31, 2026.


Thank you,

Sarah Gassman Wilbanks
