As clinicians, if we don’t understand how the healthcare system works, it is like trying to drive the wrong way down a highway. By understanding the system, you are better able to understand your role and better able to help your patients navigate their healthcare journey.

You deserve to understand your role as an OT practitioner and how reimbursement impacts you, your job, and your patients.
