List of metropolitan areas by population. One concept which measures the world's largest cities is that of the metropolitan area, which is based on the concept of a labor market area and is typically defined as an employment core (an area with a high density of available jobs) and the surrounding areas that have strong commuting ties to the core.
Average Costs. In treatment year 1, the average costs per patient diagnosed with PTSD ($8,300), TBI ($11,700), or both ($13,800) were much higher than the average costs for those with neither PTSD nor TBI ($2,400) (see Table 2 and Figure 3 on page 20).
PTs can use 97001 (Physical therapy evaluation) to report their initial evaluation of the patient which should occur before either the PT or the physician establishes the plan of care. OTs should use 97003 (Occupational therapy evaluation).
