Advocacy
Recently some practice owners and managers have reported a change in reimbursement rates with various Anthem plans. APTA VA would like to gather some information from providers in the state on those who may or may not have been impacted to determine a need for an advocacy effort.
APTA Virginia is working with the Virginia Board of Physical Therapy to advance the practice capacity of physical therapists to include the ordering of diagnostic imaging.
