Maine Physical Therapists Allowed to Proceed

Recently a judge gave the nod for a class action suit.  Christy Stout, PT and all licensed physical therapists in Maine who were participating providers with Anthem Health Plans just had to have been ecstatic with the news.  It's been two years since the beginning of the dispute and there is still a long way to go. 

I loved this quote by their attorney:  “Anthem cannot be allowed to unilaterally dictate a payment rate that jeopardizes the ability of physical therapists to continue to provide high quality services to the citizens of Maine.”

I know I'll be cheering for the underdog!

Christy Stout is one of the nicest PTs I have had the pleasure of meeting. We took the E1 course together in 2000 or 2001 at the U of St Augustine. Congrats to her, it could not have happened to a nicer person.

Too bad ACN and UHC weren't given the same treatment. Excited to see a group of PT's not sitting back and just taking it.
