Come hear about the latest trends in PT issues at the state level, what other state chapters have done, and what issues may be on the horizon for California.

Synopsis: Statehouses Strategies: PT issues at the state level-from scope of practice to infringement to autonomous practice:
From Albany to Sacramento, state legislatures are ground zero for a number of issues important to the PT profession.

Battles over PT scope of practice, direct access, physician-ownership of PT, fair PT co-pays, use of the title “doctor,” and term protection are playing out right now before state legislatures.

While the PT profession continues to advance its agenda in the states, it must almost protect against infringement from emerging professions, as well as attacks from other provider groups such as chiropractors.

The Facts are Clear - POPTS are Bad for Californians

POPTS are a conflict of interest.
POPTS limit consumer choice.
POPTS cause unnecessary financial/economic harm.
Care provided by POPTS fall below professional standards 90% of the time.
POPTS limit the autonomy of our profession.
80 percent of PTs surveyed have been negatively impacted by POPTS¹.

Even the AMA Council on Ethics and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) said, "Under no circumstances may physicians place their own financial interests above the welfare of their patients... If a conflict develops between the physician's financial interest and the physician's responsibilities to the patient, the conflict must be resolved to the patient's benefit."
