Utilization and Payments of Office-Based Physical Rehabilitation Services Among Individuals With Commercial Insurance in New York State.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings from this study recognize that rehabilitation services are delivered by various types of health care professionals and the payment rates vary across provider specialties in New York State. Of particular interest is that while physical therapists provide the largest proportion of services their payment rates are lower than the rates for chiropractors and physicians. Future research should assess regional variations and explore inter-provider cost-effectiveness in delivering these interventions. PMID: 26658150 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
