TPTA to Help Texans Save Up to 120% on Healthcare Costs

Texans seeking physical therapy services must have a referral from another healthcare provider, increasing the cost of healthcare by as much as 123%. Texas ranks 43rd in the country for primary care physician access. Healthcare reform may push even more physicians to "conceirge" plans, only increasing the lack of access to physicians, further delaying patient care and increasing healthcare costs. Texans need the right to choose physical therapy treatment directly from a physical therapist. - May 25, 2010
