Help Save Our Profession

I recently met an entrepreneur who told me that he had just purchased a PT practice. 

Sadly, my advice to him was not to have a well trained staff, but a good billing agency.

Our conversation continued about the reimbursement changes to insurance and Medicare, prospective payment in some states, and penalty for billing multiple codes.

If you are fed up and saddened by the current state of our profession, here a quick way to help to change it in less than 3 minutes. (it took me 2 minutes 37 seconds)

You and your; patients, family and friends can write your Senators and State Representative regarding the Medicare cap using the APTA legislative action portion of their web site. 

Below is the link for APTA members:
