@gawendaseminars @APTA_Geriatrics @pps_apta @APTAtweets For limiting care to Medicare patients???

Should MA plans be awared bonus payments by CMS? This year, CMS will award Medicare Advantage carriers $11.8 billion in bonus payments, half of which will go to UnitedHealth Group subsidiary UnitedHealthcare and Humana. @APTA_Geriatrics @pps_apta @APTAtweets

As it turns out, $1.50 hot dog makes money at Costco & is not a loss leader-in part cause they sell more hot dogs than anybody-but hot dogs and humans are far different and you can't serve #physicaltherapy patients at below cost no matter how many you serve-private payors & medicare advantage carriers think humans are hot dogs

@gawendaseminars @WebPT @APTAtweets @pps_apta @Optimis_PT Ughhh

Governor Newsom vetos CA AB-931 prior authorization bill that would prohibit a health plan or insurer from requiring prior authorization for the initial 12 PT treatment visits for a new episode of care . @WebPT @APTAtweets @pps_apta @Optimis_PT gov.ca.gov/wp-content/upl…

@gawendaseminars @WebPT The exact reason I encouraged my kids to NOT follow in my career footsteps. That’s a financial pit that few can bounce back from…

@gawendaseminars @sunsopeningband Thank God she is ok!

@sunsopeningband One of my daughters attend MSU and they were just released and she is now heading home with her mom.

Only in America do these go together. My thoughts are with the Michigan State community.

As drug prices continue to skyrocket, PT remains a cost-effective and appropriate alternative to opioids and other drugs for many people. PT first! #physicaltherapy reuters.com/business/healt…

@karenlitzyNYC Cant please everyone!
