If you see Medicare patients in your PT private practice, things are getting harder and here’s why: There’s a lot of misinformation and fear about these areas, so I’ve decided to set the record straight with four webinars over the next few weeks. Reclaim PT Private Practice Webinars <————- Attend one of the webinars, or ...…
Traditionally, the patient is the last payer (and in some cases, the most difficult payer) for physical therapy private practices. In the new economy, patients face rising costs, increased out-of-pocket expenses with higher premiums, and more copayments. This puts the responsibility of collections on the practice and makes the staff (and the biller) responsible for ...…
Trust me, I know first hand that physical therapy practices are having the squeeze put on them. I’ve been working side by side with a PT/OT clinic for 6 years now. Our blended business model has worked well for years. Even though we opened in 2007 right before the downturn in 2008, we ...…

Yesterday, I was driving down route 10 here in NJ, and a huge billboard grabbed my attention. It was an ad for a pain management center (of all things) and a pretty innovative one at that. This ad has been around for months, and that tells me something. It’s working for the physicians at the ...…
I was on the phone with a coaching client the other day, and she was telling me about how her practice continued to grow, while her competitors were going out of business. When I probed further, I realized that her competitor was spending money on websites, search engine optimization, newspaper ads and fruit baskets to ...…
Last Friday, something important happened in Washington DC. Automatic spending cuts were triggered, cuts that will lead to a reduction of $11 billion in payments to healthcare providers (including physical therapists) for a variety of services.
