A Win for Hybrid Care in Michigan 

The APTA Michigan reported a record win in telehealth advancement. As a result of the organization’s advocacy efforts, healthcare professionals in Michigan now have reimbursement parity for telemedicine and in-person office visits. In addition, insurers cannot dictate where patients receive care unless they are contractually bound or specific care is deemed necessary by a referring health care professional. It is a big win for patients and clinicians as virtual and hybrid care create greater access to treatment, and telehealth continues to expand in the physical therapy field.
