"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."

The Fight for Fair CoPays in PT in Motion

We've addressed physical therapist co-payments on this blog before:
Now, the flagship trade magazine of the American Physical Therapy Association has picked up the torch in the March 2012 issue of PT in Motion, The Fight for Fair CoPays.


Its worth reading no matter what setting you work in.

For those of you in Florida, the Florida Physical Therapists in Private Practice have prepared a special White Paper on the CoPay issue which will be available to members.

Contact the FLPTPP website for more details.

Get informed.

If CoPay legislation hasn't come to your state yet it may be coming soon.

Physical therapists' patients need CoPay legislation.
