Long time healthcare worker here -
Citizens should be recommended and eligible for 2x annual physical therapy consult appointments yearly thru their insurance (similar structure to annual dental appointments). This would be beneficial in catching and addressing musculoskeletal issues sooner in an effort to better combat the rise of chronic diseases. If an issue is discovered, the patient could then potentially be picked up for additional care.
Additionally, since physical therapists (PTs) typically get more 1 on 1 time with patients than their MDs, it would be beneficial in assisting primary care physicians (PCPs) funnel patients to the correct clinicians if other concerns are spotted. Example: Patient evaluated for PT and noted with hard neurological signs, PCP could be notified to establish a referral and consult with neurology.
Lets catch these issues early and stop the rise of chronic conditions.
MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN !!!
