Did you know that USPh is a founding member of APTQI?
The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI) is an aligned group of physical therapists and physical therapy practices who share a common vision for the future of our profession.
At U.S. Physical Therapy, we actively support organizations and initiatives that strengthen the profession, protect patient access, and position our partner clinics for long-term success. As the physical therapy landscape grows more complex, strong national advocacy has never been more critical.
Recent momentum from the Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI) highlights why scale, collaboration, and policy leadership matter now more than ever.
Real Progress on Capitol Hill
The Stopping Addiction and Falls for the Elderly (SAFE) Act continues to gain bipartisan support, expanding access to physical therapist-led fall risk assessments for Medicare beneficiaries. With nearly 50 House cosponsors and growing Senate support, this legislation reflects a broader shift toward prevention, value-based care, and recognition of physical therapy’s essential role. These priorities directly benefit high-quality outpatient practices nationwide.
Addressing Workforce and Reimbursement Challenges
From responding to proposed H-1B visa fee increases that threaten clinician supply, to engaging CMS on the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, APTQI continues to advocate for policies that protect access to care and practice sustainability. These efforts help reduce risk related to staffing shortages, reimbursement pressure, and regulatory complexity. All are key concerns for practice owners planning for the future.
Investing in the Future of Physical Therapy
APTQI’s support for workforce development and community initiatives, including significant donations to Feeding America and the Rizing Tide Foundation, reflects a long-term commitment to strengthening the physical therapy pipeline and supporting the communities we serve.
Why This Matters for Physical Therapy Practice Owners
For independent clinic owners, today’s environment requires more than great clinical care. It requires alignment with a partner that has the scale, influence, and strategic vision to navigate policy shifts and industry change. USPh’s support of advocacy organizations like APTQI reflects our belief that protecting the profession is essential to protecting the value and legacy of the practices we partner with.
A Partnership Built for the Long Term
If you are thinking about the next chapter for your practice, now is the time to consider what kind of partner you want alongside you. U.S. Physical Therapy partners with practice owners who want to preserve their culture, continue leading their teams, and gain the resources, advocacy, and stability needed to thrive in an evolving healthcare environment.
Let’s start a confidential conversation about how USPh can support your practice today and position it for long-term success.
