Important - Regarding cuts affecting senior's health care in 2021

[Peak PT Administrator 0]

Did you know that the government has some big cuts coming up in 2021 that could directly affect seniors' access to 35 different health care providers - including Physical Therapy?

Physical Therapy has repeatedly been shown to be a low cost, low risk, effective treatment as compared to medications, injections, and surgery as well as many expensive tests that are sometimes performed before being necessary.

And it's not going to matter whether your insurance is "straight" Medicare or you're on a "managed" product by one of our local carriers.  Almost all "Senior" insurances will follow the rules that national Medicare sets! 

We have so many seniors who are benefitting from Physical Therapy throughout the year - and COVID makes it an even harder time to be implementing cuts that are likely to end up in reducing accessibility to services for one of our most vulnerable populations.  

The best start is to GET INFORMED. Once you have more information you can decide for yourself whether you want to tell your local and federal legislators that you support their getting behind the planned cuts or if you expect them to reject the plan and make modifications so that seniors (and others) don't end up having fewer options for Physical Therapy. 


 
Yours in Health,
