APTA CO Payment Fairness Campaign

APTA Colorado—aligned with APTA nationally—is prioritizing payment reform in 2026 and beyond. Inadequate payment harms patients and providers: when PT clinics close or leave insurance networks, access declines and more patients are pushed into higher-cost settings.

To ensure policymakers understand these impacts, we’re collecting stories from patients and providers. Personal stories make a difference. Use the QR codes below to share your story via video, audio, or text—we encourage video for the most personal and compelling impact.

Tips for telling your story

• Slow down and pause when needed—it’s okay.
• Speak from the heart—don’t read from a script.
• Know your one core message before you start.
• Lead with a real patient moment or personal experience, not policy.
• Be specific—details make your story memorable.
• If you are recording video, look at the camera lens, not the screen.
