What are the main reasons behind implementing the Multiple Procedure Payment Reduction (MPPR) by Medicare, and now by commercial insurers like Blue Cross Blue Shield in Michigan?

What are the practical impacts of MPPR on physical therapy practices, and how can practices adapt to these payment reductions to maintain profitability and patient care quality?

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.
