Important Advocacy Update for NC SLPs

There is active discussion around shifting CPT Code 92507 from an event-based model to a timed-code structure. This change could significantly impact how speech-language services are reimbursed across North Carolina.

NCSHLA is launching a statewide cost-finding initiative to determine the true cost of delivering services and to support strong, data-driven advocacy moving forward.

Participation from SLPs across settings is critical. Without real data, we risk decisions being made that do not reflect the realities of our work.

Here’s how you can take action:

This is a key moment for our profession in North Carolina. Please consider participating and sharing with other SLPs.
