Description

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Fix SLP Summer School series—where we’re schooling the system all summer long. Preston Lewis, MS/SLP, and private practice owner Elizabeth Nielsen, MA/SLP, tackle a key question: Do you really need the CCC in private practice? Elizabeth shares how dropping the CCC had zero impact on billing, referrals, or her waitlist—even with major payers like Blue Cross Blue Shield.


They also break down ASHA’s livestream response to the CMS rule changes, discuss tone policing in advocacy, and introduce Fix SLP’s action plan: a letter to CMS Administrator Dr. Oz requesting a two-year delay. This episode is for private practitioners, Clinical Fellows, and anyone rethinking the CCC. Download your letter and take action at fixslp.com.
