PTPN's Business Model
 

PTPN’s business model differs from that of other networks because our income is derived from dues paid by our members. We do not generate income from volumes of claims processed or patient visits delivered by members. Payers reimburse PTPN practitioners directly. Consequently, there are no incentives to drive overutilization of services and increase overall health care costs.

Unlike many other networks, PTPN does not charge payers a fee to access its network. 

PTPN does not own its member offices. Each PTPN clinic must be independently  

 

owned by a licensed therapist. Therefore, PTPN does not need to recover the administrative, operating or capital costs through higher fees to payers.

Furthermore, because PTPN does not have conflicts of interest through corporate or physician ownership, there is no need to increase earnings to satisfy shareholders, generate profits for third-party owners, or pay corporate overhead. 

As a result of our business model, we are motivated to serve the best interests of payers, patients and provider members —  delivering quality rehabilitation services and managing health care costs.
