Abstract

<b>SYNOPSIS:</b> The <i>JOSPT</i> "Perspectives for Practice" and "Perspectives for Patients" that complement clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) published in <i>JOSPT</i> are popular because they distill key messages from a detailed CPG into 1 easy-to-use resource. The publications serve patients and clinicians. We recognize a need to provide information for health care payers regarding the anticipated duration of care, visit number, and expected outcomes for orthopedic disorders commonly seen by physical therapists and covered in the CPGs. Here, we introduce the "Perspectives for Payers." <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2025;55(8):1-2. Epub 7 July 2025. doi:10.2519/jospt.2025.13586</i>.
