Medicare Compliance: An Issue PTs Can’t Afford to Ignore
By Steve Ryland PT, DPT, Owner of Beachside Physical Therapy & Beachside Health Studio

The National MS Society just committed close to $10 million dollars on new projects in their effort to stop and terminate Multiple Sclerosis.

One of the projects is a Physical Therapy project that will test a type of physical therapy known as “Constraint-Induced Movement” therapy to improve function in daily activities of people with progressive Multiple Sclerosis.

The funding of the Physical Therapy project is a research grant of $701K for the University of Alabama at Birmingham (Victor Mark, MD, Associate Professor, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, ABPN recertified in 2006).

Medicare patients came closer to have direct access to Physical Therapy when the Senate Finance Committee unanimously passed an amendment to health care reform legislation called “America’s Healthy Future Act.” This amendment gave the authorization to a program at a new “Innovation Center” to research the benefits of providing direct access for Medicare patients to Physical Therapy access in rural areas.

This progress is the result of APTAs effort to lobby the Congress to include provisions in the national health care reform act.
