Michigan HB4484 allows speech-language pathologists to seek reimbursement for services regardless of clinical competence certification.

Michigan HB4484 amends the Michigan Public Health Code to allow speech-language pathologists to seek reimbursement for audiological rehabilitation and speech-language therapy services. This applies even if the pathologist does not have a certificate of clinical competence, overriding any contrary rules or guidelines from the department. This change aims to ensure broader access to necessary therapeutic services.
