This episode dives into one of the biggest shifts happening in physical therapy right now: the gap between what patients need and what insurance allows.

Jimmy, Tony, and Dave break down:

• Why most AI solutions in healthcare never make it past pilot phase

• How insurance limitations are shaping care delivery

• The rise of hybrid and post-rehab fitness models

• Why clinical skill is no longer the main differentiator

• How communication, sales, and patient buy-in drive outcomes

Key Insights:

• 95% of AI pilots in healthcare never scale—adoption is the real problem

• Insurance caps are forcing clinics to find new care models

• Neuro and long-term patients are underserved by traditional PT

• Cash-based PT is growing because patients value time and outcomes

• Pre/post testing isn’t just clinical—it’s a sales and trust tool

• PTs are trained to “not lose,” but progress requires risk

Why This Matters:

If you’re a clinic owner, this is about adapting your model before it’s forced on you.

If you’re a staff PT, this is about understanding what actually creates value in today’s market.
