Somatic Systems Inc (SMAS)

[fratboy72]

As a former physical therapist, one more think to think about is "crossover" from other fields.

i.e. PT's, OT's, Chiropractors, sports medicine clinical personnel, etc.

If THEIR reimbursement goes down (from payor sources like Medicare, HMO's, etc), then they'll be looking to alternative sources of revenue. In comes Somatics. Most likely not covered by many insurance plans (yet), but when someone's in pain, they're willing to pay whatever the cost to try to alleviate it. Also, to try to avoid epidurals (many risks and lose their effectiveness over time), surgery & disability.

So..........there are MANY different scenarios that may play out here.

Does Medicare pay for Somatics treatments? (I don't know the answer and am hoping someone does)

What about private insurance co's or HMO's?

Many questions here. Input greatly appreciated. TIA.
