Guest guest Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Had a discussion over the weekend with my family during Father’s Day meal. A mutual friend of ours is a PT and my daughter stated that he is a doctor, he has his DPT, doctor of physical therapy degree. This after I mentioned that PT’s are not doctors. So, are they addressed as Dr. (….) or Mr. (….). It was my impression that since they are not trained in differential diagnoses they are not doctors. Please someone bring me up to date on this. Incidentally, I met a good friend from the past at a funeral last week and we talked business as usual as he has been an attorney for SAIF for at least 20 years. Not sure what brought it up but he mentioned that PT bills are very expensive and cost the WC system quite a bit of money. Just food for thought about cost of health care in the WC market.
