Importance of Address Security

Changing your address from your personal home address to a more secure option is crucial for personal safety when starting a physical therapy practice. Using service options like a P.O. Box or a digital mailbox helps keep personal information private, thereby reducing the risk of unwanted attention and spam. While a P.O. Box may be inexpensive and easy to set up, it may cause issues with governmental or insurance documentation, as these entities typically require a physical street address. Utilizing services such as a UPS Box or a digital mailbox can provide an appropriate street address while maintaining compliance with regulations.
