Help me solve this conundrum:
On the one hand, those providing nonpharmaceutical interventions such as massage therapy, physical therapy, acupuncture, and occupational therapy must provide evidence to insurance companies (and their third party affiliates) of continual improvement and symptom resolution in order to be paid by their patients' insurance companies.
On the other hand, pharmaceuticals can be prescribed continuously for ongoing management of a condition without having to show that symptoms are continually improving or resolving.
Ironically, nonpharmaceutical approaches rarely come with negative side effects and often have positive side effects, as compared to many pharmaceuticals that can have quite negative side effects.
This is not rhetorical. I'm actually wondering if there's something I'm missing.
