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.
ATI Physical Therapy recently announced its fifth consecutive year, earning an “Exceptional” rating from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The rating is a testament to the entire organization’s dedication to providing quality patient care while achieving its purpose of making every life an active life. However, the MIPS rating is more than accolades for clinicians. It was designed to reward Medicare providers for high-quality patient care and outcomes with the aim of lowering healthcare costs.
