Private Practice Monthly Marketing Toolkit
The monthly toolkit is made up of free, ready-to-Share, professionally written, content for marketing your physical therapy practice to your community. We have monthly newsletters/blog posts, social media posts, and press release templates that can be copied and pasted, or customized to your practice with some simple edits.
Utilization Management Toolkit
Insurers are increasingly contracting with third-party vendors of utilization management programs, or "UM," to administer the rehabilitation benefit. This can create both challenges and opportunities for physical therapists in the commercial sector.
APTA provides strategies to mitigate the current and future impacts of UM use, including restrictive prior authorization policies, and ways to foster cooperation between providers and UM vendors so that both parties benefit.
The ultimate goal is the provision of patient-centered care at the lowest cost and maximum outcomes.
State Payer Advocacy Resource Center
Now available as an APTA member benefit: a suite of payment advocacy tools to help PTs address the overuse of prior authorization and utilization management. APTA and PPS collaborated to curate the collection, housed on the PPS website, as part of a joint initiative known as the State Payer Advocacy Resource Center, or SPARC.
