Jimmy talked with Kara Gainer from the APTA, she handles Regulatory affairs. Which Jimmy had zero idea what that meant before they talked. She explained what it is she actually does at the APTA for it’s members and the profession and why you’re glad she’s there.
Administrative burden, Medicare/ Medicaid payment reforms and other things that you might think you can skip out on, but we actually made talking about them interesting.
