WorkSite Physical Solutions: Helping Employers of all Sizes Keep Employees Safe Throughout the Workcycle

I was recently interviewed by a colleague for an upcoming presentation I will be providing at the Private Practice Retreat in Las Vegas in April 2012.

I wanted to share with you the reason why the WorkSite Physical Solutions is more than just a product. Employers have needs. The need to keep employees safe starts before they even start work. Having job descriptions which accurately reflect the demands of the job is a good start. Performing Post offer Pre-Work Screening for all applicants, based on actual job demands, allows employers to hire candidates physically capable of performing the job. Constantly monitoring jobs through job site analysis allows for employers to gain powerful insight as to where potential injuries may occur. Work Conditioning programs can help new employees start off on the right foot and can alleviate many of the overuse injuries which can occur in the first 3 months of work.

All of these solutions are based on actual needs of every individual organization. And they are always different. Even in the same industry, each organization has its own unique set of needs and so there is not a one size fits all.

If you are the owner or a representative of a company who could use some help with cost effective solutions for the health of your employees please feel free to contact me for a complimentary consultation to see if we can be of benefit to you and your organization.

North Carolina Patient Access to Physical Therapy Care

Every day patients go without the care they need in order to reduce pain, increase strength, improve mobility, and regain their life back because they can not afford their Physical Therapy Co-pay/Co-insurance. Right now in the State of North Carolina Physical Therapists are considered specialists and patients are responsible for a larger "specialist" Co-pay in order to receive the services. Many times patients have a $40, $50, or even $70 Co-pay with a commercial insurance plan. That is on top of paying their monthly premiums. If the Physical Therapist is paid $55 for the session and the patient paid $50 or more this is no longer a Co-pay and is now a "paid in full" service. If someone needs 2-3 visits per week in order to meet their goals and is seen 10-12 visits this adds up quickly. If you or a loved one has a stroke, an amputation, or a head injury from a car accident or a gun shot wound the care plan will be much longer and even more expensive.

Something needs to change and we need to make it so that Physical Therapy services can be accessed at the primary care provider Co-Pay/Co-Insurance rate in the State of North Carolina. This is about letting patients get the care they need at a price they can afford and about making insurance companies pay for the services they say are provided in their network of care. Please sign this petition to let the State of North Carolina know that you are not going to settle for this any longer and that legislation needs to be passed to make this law and not a policy from the Insurers.
