Send us Fan MailIf you are working on the frontlines of rehab today, you know that treating patients is only half the battle. Every day, we’re dealing with the business realities of healthcare—from prior authorization delays and compliance fatigue to reimbursement cuts and burnout. But behind the scenes, there is a massive effort underway to protect our industry and stabilize our future. Our guest today is at the absolute center of that fight. Joining us is Christie Covington, the Executive Director of the National Association of Rehabilitation Providers and Agencies—better known as NARA. Today, Christie is pulling back the curtain on how high-level advocacy impacts the daily lives of treating therapists and clinic owners. We’re diving into what NARA is doing on Capitol Hill to fight Medicare Advantage hurdles, how they're preparing us for the shift to value-based care, and how they support the organizations keeping this industry moving forward.  www.NARANET.org Please be sure to follow us on Instagram @medstarhealthpt and email: [email protected] with any questions or podcast ideas!
