If you think the bailout hasn’t reached the PT world, guess again. In an effort to “get out of the health care business”, the county government in which Groveland Physical Therapy Clinic is located (California) is trying to give the clinic to a physical therapist!
There’s a catch! The money losing clinic would cost the county $25,000 and they want the PT to be personally responsible for the “bridge loan” during the 2 months! The PT rightly refused the loan.
Guess the reason cited for the loss of money during the two months to end Feb 2009? “To enable Monterey-based physical therapist ……to secure a Medicare provider number and private insurance credentials for the site”.
Only a county government would actually believe that this is possible in 2 months!
Thoughts? California PT’s out there?
