- What provokes an audit?
- What proactive steps can be taken once a request for records is made?

The Facts are Clear - POPTS are Bad for Californians
- POPTS are a conflict of interest.
- POPTS limit consumer choice.
- POPTS cause unnecessary financial/economic harm.
- Care provided by POPTS fall below professional standards 90% of the time.
- POPTS limit the autonomy of our profession.
- 80 percent of PTs surveyed have been negatively impacted by POPTS1.
Even the AMA Council on Ethics and Judicial Affairs (CEJA) said, "Under no circumstances may physicians place their own financial interests above the welfare of their patients... If a conflict develops between the physician's financial interest and the physician's responsibilities to the patient, the conflict must be resolved to the patient's benefit."
