I hang with physical therapists.
I stick to my knitting.
Here at Physical Therapy Diagnosis I try to provide the point of view of a private practice physical therapist trying to understand and cope with the United States health care system in general and Medicare in particular.
Lately, I've blogged a lot about the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors (RACS).
Sometimes, though, you may want the full story - a comprehensive approach.
I've linked to this timely update on 'news' involving the RACs.
This blog offers a timely update on RACs, primarily on their impact on long-term acute care hospitals.
Keep looking at all the posts on this blog for some in-depth analysis of RACs and their specific impact on physical therapists.
"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."
