APTQI Welcomes Second Door Health as New Affiliate Member

Growing advocacy network champions support for policies to improve falls prevention measures and stabilize reimbursement for physical and occupational therapy practices

Washington, D.C. – The Alliance for Physical Therapy Quality and Innovation (APTQI) has welcomed Second Door Health as the newest affiliate member, further expanding the coalition’s advocacy network which includes provider, affiliate, and vendor organizations from across the physical and occupational therapy sector.

“APTQI welcomes Second Door Health and looks forward to partnering with their team to advance policies that protect fair payment for therapy and strengthen prevention efforts like falls reduction,” said Nick Patel, PT, Executive Director of APTQI. “Their advocacy support will help APTQI educate and engage lawmakers on the critical issues shaping the future of physical therapy practices and the patients they serve.”

Second Door Health provides a direct care platform that helps physical therapy practices take control of their revenue through employer contracts, patient cash pay subscriptions, and automated tools that streamline marketing, scheduling, and patient engagement. By creating sustainable growth paths outside of traditional insurance reimbursement, Second Door supports APTQI’s broader agenda to stabilize payments, expand access, reduce administrative burden, and strengthen prevention measures.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with APTQI’s network of rehab therapy leaders,” remarked Second Door Health’s CEO and co-founder, Scott Hebert, PT, DPT. “Our platform enables practices to grow sustainably and deliver measurable results—helping employers, patients, and therapists alike. Together with APTQI, we can pair innovation on the ground with advocacy in Washington to secure a stronger future for the profession.”

APTQI looks forward to working with Second Door Health and its affiliate members to stabilize Medicare payments under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) and advance the Stopping Addiction and Falls for the Elderly (SAFE) Act (S. 2612/H.R. 1171) to strengthen access to falls preventative screenings for older Americans while underscoring the value of physical and occupational therapy providers and practices across the nation.
