THE COST OF ADDICTION VS. THE PRICE OF PREVENTION Creating Cost-Effective Strategies to Enhance Care and Reduce Addiction November 1, 2019 8:30AM-3:30PM Allen Hall Room 460* Bellarmine University 2120 Newburg Road Louisvillle, KY (Allen Hall is the white building across from the main campus)

Details ceu's for nurses: 5.7 CEU's for certified case managers: 5 CEU's for insurance adjusters: 6 Join the Kentucky Physical Therapy Association to learn about the latest research comparing healthcare costs of physical therapy intervention vs. opioids for chronic pain. Because the overuse of opioids for the treatment of chronic pain has led to a national public health epidemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends non-drug approaches (such as physical therapy) over long-term or high-dosage use of addictive prescription painkillers. During this educational seminar, participants will learn what pain scenarios are appropriate for physical therapy intervention and why they should be reimbursed by insurance. Scenarios will also include case studies showing the average cost of treatment with and without physical therapy.

Using evidence-based research, the presenters will show how incorporating physical therapy into treatment plans can decrease overall healthcare costs.

Breakfast, lunch & beverages are provided with your registration.

Plenty of free parking is available in the front lot of Allen Hall.

As temperatures vary indoors, we recommend you dress in layers.
