All Medicare providers have been impacted by the recent multiple procedure payment reduction (MPPR) and sequestration cuts.
The APTA has estimated a 7-8% payment reduction. In fact, they’ve said that some practices will go out of business.
This affects over 80 million Americans, and the thousands of PT private practices that treat them.
Having said that, baby boomers is a large, untapped market for wellness and post rehab programs.
Any PT practice can bridge this gap by thinking outside the box and creating new opportunities.
In fact, there are ‘segments within segments’ with senior wellness including:
- Fall prevention
- Core stabilization
- Functional training
- Weight management
- Golf biomechanics
- Diabetes treatment
And if you want to learn more about how to set any of these up in your practice, I have just the right expert for you in a live audio conference called “The new Medicare opportunity”
