Guest guest Posted August 6, 1999 Report Share Posted August 6, 1999 Todd, If the practice that is capturing 90% of the referrals doesn't have a waiting list, has good outcomes, communicates well with the Docs and participates in the payment plans, why should the Docs take a chance and refer to you? I don't try a new cleaning service every time a new opens just to give the new guy a chance. If I'm happy with my current service, I stick with it. It's like Internet companies, sometimes it is just a matter of who gets there first if everything else is the same.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 1999 Report Share Posted August 6, 1999 Barrett, I agree with you entirely. The situation stinks. I did not go looking for the situation in the co-op, I sort of fell into it. I do not play golf, however, so 2 clinics down the street get the rest of the ortho docs and most of the PCP's! My thinking is that educating the general public about PT is the way to go. Most doctors will allow a pt to go where they choose, if insurance agrees. Patients are becoming more aware - I have been asked " Are you a licensed PT? " at the start of the eval. And several have told me upfront - " I want my treatment from a PT not a PTA or an aide.
