This is a guest post from Amy Powers of Powers Performance Physical Therapy 

How Powers Performance started and is proving Healthcare can be done DIFFERENTLY

“…𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞...”

Many assume Cash PT is just for the wealthy or privileged, but read further to see why EVERYONE deserves this delivery of care....

After decades of experience in the healthcare industry, it became glaringly obvious that my ability to help people is dictated and road-blocked by insurance regulations and the billing-driven success of corporate physical therapy practices.

Patients were numbers and, as therapists, we were praised and rewarded on VOLUME volume-based productivity. A typical schedule could be up to 40 patients a day!

Treatments delayed, denied, plans of care up to 20-30 visits with discharge outcomes at 60%. Copays/deductibles increased and reimbursement rates decreased.

These changes backed the in-network clinics into a corner. Quality of care has plummeted.

Does any of this sound familiar?

• 3-4 patients at a time per therapist
• Limited access to your therapist (even in your session)
• Therapy/exercises supervised by an assistant or tech
• Modalities modalities modalities every visit
• Multiple treatments a week
  
  In-network providers’ hands are tied. If they fail to use this model, they don’t profit and therefore don’t stay in business. Money is first. Helping people is SECOND.
  
  I wanted more. More for my patients. More for myself. I became a physical therapist to help people, which means doing the right thing ethically. I know HOW to do that but was given instructions to do things differently. As scary as it may have seemed, going at it alone meant I could have the autonomy to do exactly what my patients needed to not only recover from pain and injury but achieve the lifestyle that brings them joy.
  THE POWER TO PERFORM 
  
  Luckily there are some insurance providers that have out-of-network benefits as well as offering HSA/FSA spending accounts; and if you choose Powers Performance for physical therapy, you can still file with your insurance company to save some money.
  
  Financial freedom is just the bonus that comes from building excellence in something of VALUE.   Do you or someone you care about need BETTER physical therapy? Email us today at amy@powersperformancept.com or forward this message to someone who you feel deserves exceptional care.
