To All Physical Therapists in the State of Michigan:
As you know, we have had significant changes in the operation of the Michigan Physical Therapy Association (MPTA) over past years. There have been new people on the Board, as well as a new President, Vice President, and we have also established an excellent working relationship with Terry Vanderveen, our lobbyist. WE have also changed our management, Association Management Resources (AMR) and our Executive Director, and have noted a significant cost savings and very dynamic, positive change in the operation of MPTA.

It is imperative at this time that we move toward aggressive orientation of our legislators to the facts involved in the delivery of physical therapy services in this state.

We need to have open access in this state to enable physical therapy to move forward as a true profession.
We need to develop and move forward in the area of reimbursement to enable physical therapists to deliver high quality care, but also be reimbursed at an appropriate and acceptable rate. These rates should, again, be equal across the board, no matter what practice setting.
We need to move forward in developing firm relationships with insurers, self-insured companies, and payors of all kind, to ensure that their employees and their families are obtaining high quality, cost effective and accessible care, and to try to work toward the reduction or elimination of referral for profit arrangements.

We would appreciate at this time that the MPTA receive, as soon as possible person donations to the MPT-PAC, so that we may be able to work on these very important issues.

All donations will be utilized appropriately to advance the profession of physical therapy in the state of Michigan. The MPT-PAC members appreciate your donations and welcome any input for direction.
