We go way back. So AAC was one of the first things that I personally took on as a fearless leader, because at the time, 14 months ago, these companies were asking for the CCC. They were requiring your action number to set up accounts. They were requiring your action number to use their free products online. They were collecting your action number, regardless of payer source for billing. It was just required. And I spent a lot of time on the phone with these companies, lawyers with these companies. Representatives with these companies, sales reps advocating on our behalf, explaining why they shouldn't be doing this. And when my mom got sick with breast cancer, I kind of had to let that fall by the wayside, and then everything changed in fixed SLP, and I haven't been able to circle back. There is an open invitation for me to meet with someone from Tobii DynaVox that I will eventually circle back to. But at this point, it's not our biggest fish to fry, because it has been addressed enough to the point where we can confidently say that for the big players, the big companies in the field, you do not have to have your CCC, and I'm specifically talking about Prentche Romich and Tobii Dynavox. You don't have to. In fact, a couple months ago, I ordered a device for an adult, and I said to my rep from PRC, I said, you know, I'm not giving you my Asha information, right? And she's like, I expected nothing less. I said, let me know if there's a problem and there wasn't. And she said, you know, we actually have someone putting one through for Medicaid right now too, without the CCC. She said, I'll let you know if there's a problem and there wasn't. So at this point we believe, and if this is not what you are experiencing, please let us know we believe. At this point, these companies are allowing you to create accounts. They are allowing you to submit devices without the CCC. There are some exceptions in these states where Medicaid is required. If Medicaid requires it in a state, you're going to have to submit it, and at this point, we are pretty transparent on what states those are. In fact, our map is showing more states require it than do because we've made big changes this year. At the time of this recording, Elizabeth is getting that map up to date for us. One of our posts this week will have an updated map so you can see what states require the CCC for Medicaid billing, and we have teams in a good handful of these states who are now taking this on. And what we're finding even in one of these states, it's not even in the regulation, sort of like in Arkansas and North Carolina, it's part of the credentialing paperwork, even though it's not in the regulation. And we have found that that is very easy to change. So I can confidently say by this time next year, more of these states will be knocked out because we're simply just dealing with paperwork, not legislation and regulation and those big things this is simple, like make an attestation form like you have in North Carolina, change it like you did in in Arkansas. That's what we're looking at in some of these states. And so in that case, you know, if you have to have your CCC, you'll submit it, or if you don't, they'll ask for it. But for it to be a requirement across the board that, for the most part, has gone away. If you're still having trouble, please email us. I have a file. I'm keeping this stuff. I get the emails. I move it to the AAC file, and someday, I promise I will circle back and bring this thing home. But because we've made enough movement to where it is generally fixed, I haven't done much. I want to call something out, though that is very concerning to me, and we're gonna tag Tobii DynaVox on this stuff. When I started this, they weren't addressing this issue at all. Now, thankfully, they do have a spot on their website under the funding tab that you can click that addresses the CCC, right. They're trying to contribute to addressing this problem. However, point number one under General Information says, What is a certificate of clinical competence? The American Speech Language Hearing Association Asha defines the CCC certificate, as the CCC SLP demonstrates to patients, employers and organizations that you are committed beyond the basic requirements for state licensure in the field of SLP. Point number two, why is a certificate of clinical competence needed right there? Why is it needed? Excuse me, the certification of clinical competence is designed to ensure that recipients can independently practice and provide high quality clinical services to patients. Yes, those two paragraphs right there better come off, because it's an FTC violation period. Asha is regulated by the FTC. Tobii DynaVox is regulated by the FTC. They are breaking the law by having those statements on their website. Tobii DynaVox, I'm calling you out right now. FTC guidelines on misleading claims. Here we go, straight from their website. The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce. A claim is considered deceptive if it misleads consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances and is material to their decision making. Let's analyze that statement for a second. Do they imply superiority? Absolutely, they're suggesting that holding the CCC demonstrates a commitment beyond the basic requirements of state licensure, which we all know now are not true, except in two states, Hawaii and North Dakota, we're calling you out. Get it together. Are they misleading consumer perception? Absolutely. If patients, employers or organizations are interpreting the statement to mean the CCC holder provides superior care compared to those of us without the CCC that can influence hiring, that can influence who they're choosing to care for them, it's potentially disadvantaging qualified professionals. These are concerns that stuff has to come down, tag them, and if it's still on the ASHA website, don't, don't, don't. Get me started. Preston, I need to drink.
