News | Let's #FightTheCut: Join Our Sept. 1 Virtual Rally

Coming Sept. 1: Join APTA staff, association leaders, and fellow PTs, PTAs, and students in a one-day #FightTheCut virtual rally. We want to deliver 10,000 or more messages opposing U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services plans to cut physical therapy payment by an estimated 3.5% and implement a flawed 15% payment differential system for services provided by PTAs.

Tune in online for the all-day push starting at 9 a.m. ET, followed by APTA Live check-ins at 12:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. You'll find out how easy it is to submit comments and learn about the impact these proposed cuts could have on patient access to needed care. Check-in sessions will keep you updated on our progress through the day.

Can't make it? You can still send comments to CMS. It only takes two minutes to join the #FightTheCut effort using our APTA Patient Action Center.
