Take the Cash Practice Survey

We wanted to take a moment to ask for your assistance in a matter that we think would be important to you.

First, we feel our clients have the greatest potential and courage to step out of the norm of providing PT services in a consistently shrinking reimbursement environment to providing PT services in a stable reimbursement environment with significantly less red tape and paperwork.
Second, we are not interested in your abandonment of the traditional PT practice but want to explore the possibility of helping the profession through the establishment of cash-based practices.

As you may already know from reading our blog, there are over 47 million uninsured in the US and many of them are in need of PT. The current healthcare system is suppressive and we’d imagine we have your agreement on that. You have only two options when you are under suppression and those are to handle or disconnect. We don’t want you to give up your fight to provide physical therapy service and resort down to other “solutions” to make yourself profitable by diversifying into providing, for example, vitamins and supplements to your patients or opening a Wellness Clinic with the intention to capture your discharged patients and have them pay cash for this service, etc. We want PTs to promote and deliver PT and not become some kind of substitute profession of vitamin salesman or health club operator.

Take a moment to fill out this survey – it will provide us with information that will help us expand the entire profession of physical therapy – making it available to more people – and making it possible for more practice owners to succeed in their business ventures.

Your can do this by simply emailing us your answers using the "Email Us" link on this blog. We are also sending this survey out in an email from Diane so you can respond that way too.
