Should physical therapists stop accepting insurance and start treating their clinics like highend fitness or wellness clubs?

If manual therapy requires the most skill, why are we still giving it away at insurance rates that value it less than a gym membership?

Join us for a special crossover session, "The Breakfast Club," originally recorded on PT Pintcast. I'm your host, Dave Kittle, alongside Jimmy McKay, Director of Communications at Mount Sinai Hospital and Anthony (Tony Maritato) Maritato, a seasoned physical therapist, private practice owner, and online business entrepreneur.
