Physicians say in-house physical therapy is better for patient care.
Quote:
Organized medicine leaders are alarmed over recent legal decisions that prevent physicians from employing physical therapists and threaten to undermine their ability to employ other health care-related professions. Federal law allows doctors to refer patients to employees within their practice. But Delaware, Missouri and most recently South Carolina have made self-referrals to physician-employed physical therapists illegal or nearly impossible for physicians because of licensing penalties imposed on physical therapists who receive a paycheck from physicians.
