Sorry, on my original post I meant to say an Insurer in Eastern Iowa has " stuck it " to providers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2003 Report Share Posted December 17, 2003 Hi All I definitely agree with Jim and Ken! The larger the numbers involved in approaching the insurer, the better the result. We are dealing with the same thing in NC. In a meeting we (NCPTA) had with the insurer, we were told that if the product was still selling and no one was complaining about it, then why should they change it? So, that means educating the businesses that are buying the product as well as the providers banding together. I bet some of the providers are also customers of the insurer. We have been encouraging our patients to start complaining, as well as collecting other data. We have also hit a brick wall in conversations with the insurer. If a change is going to occur, it is going to take a long time, hard work, and we have to be persistant. It's a battle more and more of us will be involved in. We have to start working together!! Good luck and Support your Association! Vicki Vicki Tilley PT,GCS President ElderFit Physical Therapy & Consulting, Inc. (work) (fax) VSTilley@...
