CBP 019: The Undervaluation of Physical Therapy and What We Can Do About It

This is a return to a very popular post I did in 2013 about what I consider a huge problem for the PT field: the undervaluation of our services… not just by patients, referral sources, and (of course) 3rd party payors, but by physical therapists themselves!

This is an important topic and conversation we need to have over and over again, because the low-value mindset is so widespread among our colleagues and the general public alike. It is up to us to solve this issue. Please get involved in the solution.In this episode, you’ll learn about: 

• An Aside: Why my practice may be a “HIPAA Covered Entity” after all! State Laws can be stricter and supersede Federal Laws, and you need to know how to figure out if that is the case for your practice.

• Why I feel like our services are undervalued.

• Why so many PTs seem to have a low value mindset about what we provide.

• How we can begin to change this low-valuation problem across the board.
