Rockar Urges Physical Therapists to Prepare for April 1 Medicare Cuts
Many
physical therapists still may not be aware of the payment cuts that go into
effect April 1. In a recent blog post, APTA President
Paul A. Rockar Jr, PT, DPT, MS, urges physical therapists to review information
at APTA.org and share it with colleagues to prepare for these reductions.
APTA's 2013 Medicare Changes webpage
provides the information that physical therapists need to know about the
increase in the multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR), and independent of
the MPPR, the Medicare sequestration cuts.
