The PT Assistants

A potentially bill being pushed is about having telemedicine here to stay. If this were to happen, what does this mean for PTAs? Would our jobs change? Can we work from home? We discuss possible options and the complications it would bring in today's episode!
 
FYI:
According to the APTA in the most recent article in 2019 Medicare Rules State:
General supervision is required for PTAs in all settings except private practice, which requires direct supervision
Private Practice: supervising PT is in the office suite when an individual procedure is performed and immediately available to furnish assistance and direction throughout the performance of the procedure.

Over our working experience we have been in a variety of settings (more Laura than ken) and they are all different. People thrive in different environments and what works for one person may not be what works for another. So let's discuss the good and the bad in each environment to better help you decide where you want to work!

Welcome welcome and happy Friday! Today we discuss our experience with some certain patient personalities and mindset when coming into PT. Some of these are rather to the extreme and that probably why we can recall on them so well, but just remember not all patient's are like this but when you're in the field for a while, you may come across it. So, let's discuss our experiences!
