Let me clarify. When I wrote ‘physical therapy maintenance’ program, I was referring to a customized exercise routine, for fitness purposes. Good business sense can mean good clinical care, as long as the patient improves from normal function to optimum function. While this will not be reimbursable by insurance (hence the emphasis on cash and prepayment in the article), there is a lot more we can provide, more than just hot packs, e-stim and US. How about a progressive core strengthening program, muscle toning, aerobic and balance enhancement protocol? I think the maintenance adjustment is a farce in most cases, most definitely.

About its applicability, there are many ways to skin a cat.

This ‘exercise routine’ can work during
a) off peak hours
b) as a group exercise environment – where you can train (I used the word train, not treat) 5-6 patients at a time. It’s great that you see 1 patient an hour for skilled PT, but for this program, 5-6 patient will ensure profitability and allow clinical supervision, assuming everyone is made to follow the same routine. Patient grouping becomes important.

And how does one make revenue at only $35/session if someone does purchase the 4x/week package. At our facility we see only 1 patient/hour. $35 does not even pay my other PT’s salaries.
