Mental Health Physical Therapy: Can We Bill for It?

Once you know that mental health is within your scope, the practical question becomes: how do you document it, and can you bill for it?

This session provides clear, actionable guidance on documentation strategies and relevant CPT codes to support mental health-informed PT practice, with real-world examples that stand up to payer scrutiny.

A practical conversation for clinicians looking to integrate and justify this work in everyday practice.

Lead With Purpose with Lisa!

How has your leadership journey inspired you or others so far? - "Highlighting the value of the association’s programming. So glad I attended the recent LAMP 101 course in Columbus, OH! Over the two-day session, I picked up several practical tools, but the lesson on time management has been a total win for my current role. Learning to prioritize "important/not urgent" tasks when my focus is highest (first thing in the morning) has completely changed my daily workflow. If you’re looking to level up your leadership game, don't miss the next session!" - Lisa Kohler, DPT, COS-C

Lead With Purpose with Diane!

"Taking LAMP 101 with coworkers was an excellent opportunity to find accountability partners in establishing our own personal missions while looking at how we can align them to improve the team mindset. LAMP gave guidance on defining strengths and areas needing growth to create harmony within ourselves and our teams through identifying personality types, communication, trust building, and conflict management." - Diane Fleming, PT, DPT, GCS
