PT exam fees will remain same until 2009
Rehab Regs, September 15, 2006
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) and the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy (FSBPT) resolved their dispute over the fees for the National Physical Therapy Examination that had been the subject of litigation, APTA announced in a press release.
Under the terms of the settlement, the examination fee will remain $350 through 2009, with set limits on any increases in the fee that may be instituted thereafter, through the expiration of the contract between APTA and FSBPT in 2014.
The new terms ensure that the price to take the examination remains affordable for licensure candidates starting their careers in the profession. It will also provide appropriate revenue to support the FSBPT's continued development and administration of the exam, APTA said in the release.
