Dr. Jeanette Benigas, SLP, and Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, tackle common myths in speech-language pathology, focusing on the necessity of the CCC. They debunk the misconception that the CCC is required to bill Medicare, emphasizing that Medicare policy is federal and does not vary by state. They clarify that reinstating the CCC involves only a fee, a passing Praxis score (if needed), and professional development—no college courses or back pay. Additionally, they confirm that only two and a half states (Nevada, Delaware, and Virginia) require the CCC for initial licensure. They discuss the role of the CCC in completing AAC assessments and dispel fears that removing the CCC requirement will hinder Medicaid reimbursement efforts, sharing real-world case studies to prove otherwise. Through their discussion, they empower SLPs to challenge misinformation, advocate for transparency, and make informed decisions about their professional credentials.
