APTA opposes AMA's effort to limit patient choice
Rehab Regs, June 16, 2006
The American Physical Therapy Association joined the Coalition for Patients' Rights (CPR), a group of 24 organizations representing more than three million licensed providers, in urging the American Medical Association (AMA) and other physician groups to drop efforts aimed at limiting the ability of patients to receive care from PTs and other qualified licensed healthcare professionals, according to PT Bulletin Online.
CPR issued a statement responding to the AMA's formation of a partnership to study the work and qualification of "allied health professionals," particularly in rural and underserved areas. CPR is developing strategies and resources for opposing scope-of-practice legislation, reported PT Bulletin Online.
