Tannus Quatre, PT, MBA has done a nice job in his blog of articulating the feelings I think many PT's share in trying to stay compliant in a complex health care system.
South Florida: The nation’s capital for Medicare fraud tells the story of a Medicare provider with a prior drug conviction who ran a scam stealing millions of dollars from Medicare.
Meanwhile, hard-working health care providers struggle to stay compliant and to keep the dollars they have earned.
Thanks to Tannus - go check out his blog.
"Physical therapy is not a subspecialty of the medical profession and physical therapists are not medical doctors; we are a separate profession that provides a unique service that physicians are unable and untrained to provide."
