It’s hard to overstate how important it is for OTs and PTs to understand the new value-based care models.

But, let’s be honest—they are an overwhelming and confusing alphabet soup (TEAM, LEAD, GUIDE, ACO REACH), and that’s just the acronyms.

It feels like in every practice area, the importance of the vagus nerve is being talked about.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#144 Therapy and Value-based Care Models with Dana Strauss
Q: How can a therapist begin to be an early adopter in this space?
Begin by learning the model landscape, map your patient flows to potential model eligibility, engage leadership with proposed handoffs and functional outcomes, and pursue contracting opportunities such as preferred provider arrangements to embed therapy in value-based care delivery.
#144 Therapy and Value-based Care Models with Dana Strauss
Q: What is the big picture view of value-based care and how should therapists approach it?
Therapists should understand the four model buckets, identify where their organization and patient populations fit, and actively engage in the design, testing, and optimization of models to demonstrate value through improved function and reduced costs; start with accessible entry points like joining CMS listservs and tracking MSSP participation.
#141 Therapy Credentialing and Billing 101 with Kara Welke
Q: What final guidance would you give someone just starting to navigate credentialing and billing?
Invest in learning the process rather than outsourcing everything; build a solid foundation with credentialing, clearinghouse setup, and KPI-driven planning, then gradually delegate to admins or billing partners as the practice grows, so you stay connected to the client flow and financials.
#141 Therapy Credentialing and Billing 101 with Kara Welke
Q: How should a new practitioner approach the timeline for credentialing with Medicare and Medicaid, and when should they consider adding other payers?
Medicare credentialing can often take about a month, with Medicaid timelines varying by state; after establishing Medicare, practitioners can consider adding other payers or pursuing out-of-network options to test reimbursement and grow more flexibly before committing to all insurers.
#136 Osteoarthritis of the Thumb with Preston Lockwood
Q: What is the final takeaway for generalist OTs about thumb OA management?
Don't be intimidated; you have the core tools from graduate school—activity modification, joint protection, adaptive equipment, and patient education—and you should reach out to specialists (CHTs) when needed to support your patients.
