Why it Matters: Fox Rehabilitation Services PC continues its decade-long lobbying campaign with a $50,000 third-quarter payment to Tauzin Strategic Networks. The therapy provider has now invested $1.7 million in federal advocacy since 2014. Fox switched from Dilworth Paxson LLP to Tauzin in 2017, gaining access to a firm with deep Medicare expertise.
By the Numbers: Fox has filed 33 disclosures with Tauzin totaling $1.6 million since 2017. The company previously spent $95,000 with Dilworth Paxson from 2014-2017. The latest Q3 2025 filing doesn’t specify individual lobbyists or issues. Tauzin’s client roster includes healthcare organizations like Partnership for Quality Home Healthcare and LHC Group Inc.
Broader Context: The 119th Congress is actively considering legislation to expand senior access to rehabilitation therapies through Medicare. Multiple bipartisan bills address workforce shortages and coverage gaps. Congressional hearings have focused on senior health outcomes and reducing administrative burdens in Medicare Advantage.
The Agenda: Fox historically lobbies on Medicare reimbursement for therapy services and payment policies for physical therapists. The company provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy primarily to older adults in homes and senior communities. Medicare serves as the primary insurer for Fox’s patient base.
Competitive Landscape: Fox joins a broad coalition of healthcare organizations lobbying on similar issues. The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation spent $80,000 in Q2 2025. The American Medical Rehabilitation Providers Association filed a $200,000 Q2 report. Confluent Health registered as a new lobbying entrant in 2025.
Between The Lines: Congress is considering the SAFE Act, allowing therapists to conduct falls risk assessments during Medicare wellness visits. The Medicare Home Health Accessibility Act would permit occupational therapy as a standalone qualifying service. Rep. Lloyd Smucker championed the Medicare Home Health Accessibility Act. Rep. Carol Miller and Rep. Melanie Stansbury led bipartisan reintroduction of the SAFE Act. Sen. Maggie Hassan and Sen. Tim Scott introduced the Occupational Therapy Mental Health Parity Act.
The Bottom Line: Fox’s sustained lobbying investment positions the company to benefit from congressional momentum on senior rehabilitation access. The timing aligns well with active legislation addressing Medicare coverage and workforce issues.
