Let's Help Each Other
Physical therapy is changing rapidly. As a PT with more than thirty years of experience, the changes observed in the last ten years triple those of the first twenty years. The pace of change is not slowing down. The Medigraph Blog will serve as a forum that will enable us to exchange ideas and assist each other. This blog will be used to share billing, documentation, and any other ideas to improve any aspects of our profession. If we share what we have learned, we can develop a resource that enables our collective understanding to advance our careers.
As profit margins grow smaller and expenses grow larger, we need to assist each other to survive and prosper. If we share our experiences we can help each other to grow professionally, administratively, and financially. Our professional lives, our livelihood, and our personal lives are intertwined. Our resources individually are limited. Together we can accomplish more than we can individually. Let's help each other

The House of Representatives and Senate have passed a bill that provides a two month extension on the scheduled 27.4% reduction in payment for Medicare services. This bill also extends the therapy cap exception
through February 2012. The haouse and senate will reconvene in January and they will begin work on a compromise bill for a longer term extension on these issues. I encourage everyone to join the PTeam of the APTA who represents pysical therapist interests in these matters. http://www.apta.org/pteam/
