USPh is Proud to be a Founding Member of APTQI

The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI) is an aligned group of physical therapists and physical therapy practices who share a common vision for the future of our profession. Our goal is to establish physical therapy as a clinically appropriate treatment of choice with the best value for patients and payers.
We know annual Medicare cuts have put pressure on clinical teams. Since 2014, we’ve been working with other physical therapy practices to show lawmakers the full impact physical therapy has on the healthcare system.

We’ve been committed to promoting physical therapy and the patients we serve by:

• Building relationships with members of Congress to advocate for our profession
• Working with federal regulators at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to show how their regulations affect physical therapy practices
• Engaging with commercial payers to ensure appropriate payment methodologies are applied.

One minute of your time can make an impact.

We are thankful for the opportunity to work with so many talented teams in the physical therapy space. Through our partnerships, we have and will continue to accomplish great things for our profession. Contact us to learn more about our goals through APTQI or our USPh partnership model.
