@Kendraah New York has not instituted this pay cut yet, but it is only a matter of time before they do. I have a feeling all states will make these cuts, only time will tell.

@cotaman7 talking to OTA's here in NY they haven't had pay cuts it must only be in the south.

Before taking a nose dive into this field, please remember. Kansas Blue Cross and Medicare just cut OTA/PTA pay by 50% in September. Missouri is going to do the same thing in November, and Oklahoma and Louisiana are going to do this in either January or February 2012. OTA/PTA programs in Kansas and Missouri have seen a huge decline in enrollment to there programs. It's only a matter of time before all states phase out assistants.
