The American Physical Therapy Association, APTA Orthopedics, and APTA Private Practice continue to advance the ongoing work of the State Payer Advocacy Resource Consortium (SPARC), an actively expanding initiative delivering high-value support to APTA members nationwide.

SPARC is the central hub for state payment advocacy resources, offering a growing collection of tools, guidance, and strategic insights to help members effectively navigate today's complex payer environment. New resources are added regularly, ensuring members have access to relevant, actionable information to support their advocacy efforts and achieve success in practice. SPARC provides support across the full spectrum of need, from individualized guidance for small and independent practices to coordinated initiatives that influence payer policy at the state and national levels. These resources are designed to help members strengthen operational performance and safeguard appropriate reimbursement.

APTA members are encouraged to join the SPARC Forum in the APTA Community and be part of the team advocating for payment change. Connect with fellow APTA members from across the country to share payment insights, resources, and advocacy strategies, and build your payment advocacy network. Join the SPARC Forum Today!
