Greetings. On September 14, 2005 there will be a live audio
conference sponsored by the APTA with Medicare representatives to
discuss new Medicare physical therapy payment policies. I will be
taking part in this event as the VPTA Payer Relations Specialist and
urge you to communicate with me any issues, questions, concerns that
you wish to be voiced during this event. I would appreciate receiving
feedback no later than noon on September 13 such that I can organize
the topics that need to be addressed. I will communicate a
summarization of the event via the VPTA website. Remember you are also
welcome to participate in this event or you can purchase the audiotape
after September 14.You can find our more by logging onto the APTA
website. Thanks for any input you wish to share.
