Overview:
The physical therapy profession faces a critical payment crisis. While inflation has surged by over 32% in the past 11 years, insurance reimbursements have remained stagnant – effectively resulting in a significant pay cut for our services. This disconnect has triggered a cascade of challenges: talented therapists leaving the profession, unsustainable productivity demands, increasing burnout rates, and reduced patient access to care.
As awareness grows about these narrowing margins, it’s clear that the current trajectory is unsustainable. However, rather than dwelling on complaints, this panel discussion focuses on actionable solutions and strategic approaches to address the payment dilemma. Join our expert panel as they share practical strategies, answer your questions, and provide concrete tools to help secure appropriate compensation for the valuable care we provide.
