Reference no: EM13295273

Some research has shown that physician owned physical therapy services have increased patient visits (number of therapy sessions) and increased cost to both the patient and the insurance company in as much as 60% greater than privately owned physical therapy practices. Keeping overall charges per visit constant (in other words a POPT clinic will charge or be reimbursed the same as any other clinic.) Why would this phenomenon of increaed number of patient visits and overall increased costs occur?
