For 5th Consecutive Year, ATI Physical Therapy Achieves 'Exceptional' Rating In Patient Quality from the Center For Medicare and Medicaid Services (MIPS)

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Nov. 13, 2024

BOLINGBROOK, Ill., Nov. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Physical Therapy ("ATI" or the "Company") today has again earned the "Exceptional" rating from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services' (CMS) Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) for quality patient care. ATI received the exceptional rating for the fifth consecutive year, every year since the program's inception for physical therapy providers.

As part of this process, ATI, the nation's largest single-branded outpatient physical therapy provider, leveraged its proprietary electronic medical record and Patient Outcomes RegistryTM comprised of more than 10 million patient reported outcomes across 4 million patient episodes and 3 million unique patients. These foundational components are core to ATI's commitment to improve quality care improvement and health outcomes while reducing the overall cost of healthcare.

"This annual recognition is a testament to our exceptional team of clinicians and the work they do daily. Physical therapy plays a critical role in the musculoskeletal health ecosystem (MSK), and we will continue to promote the value it has in helping our patients live pain-free lives," said Charles Thigpen, Senior Vice President for Clinical Excellence, ATI Physical Therapy. "Levering our outcomes, experience, and single-branded platform, we strive to deliver differentiated care that reduces the cost of MSK as well as unnecessary opioids, imaging or surgery."

The MIPS recognition is used to determine if the provider is eligible for a bonus to CMS reimbursement rates that providers receive for their services, which in turn impacts the location and scope of services available to patients. This recognition is important to partially offset the impact of continuing rate reduction, as also determined by CMS for physical therapy services.

With a focus on delivering high-quality care, ATI Physical Therapy strives to improve patients' quality of life through comprehensive treatment plans and personalized care. ATI Physical Therapy offers convenient hours and easy booking through ATI's website for a variety of services, including physical therapy, sports medicine PT, women's health PT, hand therapy, worker's comp rehab, specialty therapy services and personalized rehabilitation treatments, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.
