Setting up a
Certified Rehabilitation Agency may be your best route to preserve
your ability to offer physical therapy in your private practice.
With Medicare's challenges and increasing restrictions to physical
therapy, this may well become the "only option" in the future. |

Mr. Henderson
is a member of the Advisory Board of this Academy. VTI is the ONLY
Academy approved vendor for vestibular testing equipment.
And for those of you who bought
expensive VNG equipment from a distributor and then discovered that
you could not consistently identify enough balance patients to get
adequate utilization of that VNG equipment, think about this --- on
average about 50% of all older patients screened with CAPS™
Professional or CAPS™ Lite will fail the screening with a score that
requires further evaluation. And once evaluated by a physician, as
many as 80-85% will usually be candidates for therapy, and as many
as about 30-35% will be candidates for ENG/VNG.
Vestibular testing IS a valid and
valuable market but like other diagnostic testing, it must be
properly performed, documented and billed.

International Medical Electronics - Magnatherm Shortwave Diathermy
 |
Short wave diathermy (SWD)
and ultrasound are both deep heating modalities, however there is
considerable difference in their effectiveness and ease of use.
Modern pulsed SWD such as the Magnatherm, manufactured by
International Medical Electronics, Inc. have independent induction
therapy heads. Magnatherm has a further advantage of two treatment
heads, so that two areas can be treated simultaneously, one area can
be treated from two directions or one area can be treated directly
and remotely at the same time. |
