Bill overview
House Bill 4484 modifies Michigan’s social welfare act to allow speech-language pathologists licensed in the state to seek reimbursement for audiological rehabilitation and speech-language therapy services. Currently, rules might limit these reimbursements, but this bill removes those restrictions. It applies even if the speech-language pathologist doesn’t hold a certificate of clinical competence. This change aims to expand access to these vital services for individuals in need.
