Current Issues in Legislation

NJSHA’s Legislative Committee works hand-in-hand with our governmental affairs consultants at Porzio Governmental Affairs.

We are currently nearing the end of a two-year legislative session which began on January 13, 2026 and will conclude on January 11, 2028. [please log in to the member center to continue reading this post]. 

We monitor NJSHA-related bills and regulations as they move through the legislative and regulatory processes and update this page regularly. 

Update on CPT Code 92507

New Jersey Speech-Language-Hearing Association and its Board of Directors have been closely monitoring the ongoing review of CPT® code 92507 by the American Medical Association.

Here’s what you need to know:

CPT 92507 remains active and valid.

SLPs should continue billing 92507 for individual treatment services related to speech, language, voice, communication, and/or auditory processing disorders.

Any potential changes would not take effect until January 1, 2027.

The AMA’s current review is part of its routine CPT code evaluation process. There will be a period of time for the public to submit feedback. Registration to do so is March 6. The deadline to submit comments is March 30. The meeting to discuss the comments will be April 30 – May 01, 2026. Due to confidentiality requirements, details are limited and no outcomes will be released until Summer 2026.

Please be cautious of speculation circulating online. Information about specific changes is not publicly available at this time.

What NJSHA is doing:

• Actively monitoring developments through national advocacy channels
• Collaborating with ASHA and state association leaders
• Preparing to provide timely updates and education if changes are finalized
• Supporting members—especially those in private practice—through clear guidance and advocacy

We understand that uncertainty can be stressful. Please know that NJSHA remains committed to keeping you informed, supported, and connected. As information becomes publicly available, we will share updates and advocacy opportunities promptly.

Together, by relying on credible professional guidance and maintaining a unified voice, we will continue protecting access, reimbursement integrity, and quality care for the individuals and families we serve.

Advocacy Tips for Calling Your State Legislators

To find your state legislator’s phone number, you may use our searchable online directory or call your state’s switchboard at and ask for your Senator and/ or Representative’s office. When you call, if you speak with someone other than your legislator, take down their name and title. Upon reaching your state legislator on the phone, it’s easiest to follow these four basic steps:

• IDENTIFY yourself by name and the organization (if any) that you represent or the town from which you are calling.
• EXPLAIN why you are calling: “I am calling to support/oppose House Bill: HB ##, Senate Bill: SB## “. Be polite and concise. Creating 1 or 2 talking points will focus the content of your message. Too much information may confuse your message. Ask your legislator his/her position on this issue. Don’t assume that your legislator has prior knowledge of your issue. Be calm, respectful, and be prepared to educate, using local examples to accentuate your point.
• REQUEST a written response to your phone call if you did not speak to your legislative member. If the legislator requires further information, provide it as soon as possible.
• THANK the person who took the phone call for their time and consideration.
