In 2006, the congress authorized the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to create and employ an exceptions process to permit medically necessary physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech language pathology services above the cap.
On February 22, 2012, President Obama signed a measure to extend the therapy cap exceptions until December 31, 2012.
