Welcome to the new CPTA Private Practice Group web-site.  The CA PPG is a special interest group of the California Physical Therapy Association.  As a SIG, we will obtain input from our members regarding the major issues impacting their practices.   We will use this to develop and provide resources to our members.  The CA PPG is also represented in the CPTA Assembly of Representatives and provides input to the CPTA to assist in achieving our strategic goals. 

We have a year of challenges before us.  Private practices will be faced with implementing new Medicare requirements, revisions to the Workers Comp Fee schedule, CA Health Exchanges and private payer issues.  The CPTA continues to have a strategic goal to obtain Direct Access and to ensure enforcement of the prohibition of POPTS.

As your President I will be joined by a strong Board.  We continue to look for members who would be willing to step up into a board position and be part of directing our activities. -- Dave Powers, PT, DPT, MA, MBA
