Ok. So are we going to fight with the government (Medicare) and the insurance companies to start covering things like physical therapy long term?
We don't want anyone ever using opioids again, we're busy scaring the heck out of everyone about nsaids, and you might be lucky enough to get 20 PT visits a year covered, but that might only be if you've had surgery. Surgery they will pay for, but is now being shown to be less effective than something like PT.
