Boosting Practice Profits Amidst Medicare Cuts: Strategies for PT Clinics
How can physical therapy clinics adapt to the proposed Medicare cuts for 2025, enhance their service offerings, and optimize their practice to remain profitable? How can physical therapy clinic managers innovate their services and adapt to potential Medicare cuts to stay profitable in the coming years?
Join us for a special crossover session, "The Breakfast Club," originally recorded on PT Pintcast. I'm your host, Dave Kittle, alongside Jimmy McKay, Director of Communications at Mount Sinai Hospital and Anthony (Tony Maritato) Maritato, a seasoned physical therapist, private practice owner, and online business entrepreneur.

-Strategies to increase the clinic's total cart value and revenue without solely relying on Medicare.
-The importance of optimizing clinic operations to enhance efficiency and patient satisfaction.
-Discussing alternative service models like single unit visits to maintain profitability while reducing Medicare billing.

    It seems like the conversation of cash-pay physical therapy always dilutes to a convo like the Payless conversation. There is always limited insight of the specific differences that can be offered and be valuable with being out of network. It would be nice to hear of the specific value that an out of network clinic is able to provide vs and in network clinic. I do believe that both are necessary, but in network providers always steer the convo to points like it’s all the same and buyers are limited in their knowledge.

    I have been offering memberships for 4 years now. Started off super cheap like Tony, all you can eat. At that point I was looking for volume as part of a CrossFit gym. It later evolved to a monthly fee just under $200 that was still all you can eat. I had a handful of people abuse this, mostly because I didn't assert myself as the person in charge of this relationship. Lesson learned. I later revamped it to put a limit on visits, and it provides me with consistent monthly income, while providing tremendous value to my patients. I allow their entire family to share their bank of visits, which provides more value to them, and the monthly fee is lower than the per visit fee. I think the membership model is a great way to provide value to the therapist in recurring monthly revenue, and tremendous value to the patients, by being able to essentially finance a plan of care for themselves and their families with a consistent, reasonable monthly payment.

    Excellent discussion regarding pre employment screening. Self pay clinics should definitely test a provider prior to them working with high value clients.

  • @rscan82

    Article 28, as it pertains to New York State, does not inherently allow a clinic to cross state lines in its operation. Article 28 is a state-specific regulation under the New York Public Health Law that licenses and regulates healthcare facilities within New York State. The privileges and regulations provided under Article 28 are confined to New York State and are overseen by the New York State Department of Health. For a clinic to operate in multiple states, it would need to comply with the health care regulations and licensing requirements of each respective state. Each state has its own set of laws and regulations governing the operation of healthcare facilities. Therefore, while Article 28 can provide significant benefits within New York State, those benefits and the regulatory framework do not automatically extend to other states. To operate across state lines, a clinic would need to: Obtain Licenses and Certifications: Secure the necessary licenses to operate in each state where it plans to provide services. Comply with State Regulations: Adhere to the health care regulations and standards of each state, which may include different requirements for facility operations, staffing, and patient care. Establish State-Specific Contracts: Develop contracts and agreements that comply with each state’s specific health care reimbursement policies, including Medicaid and private insurance providers. For example, if a clinic licensed under Article 28 in New York wants to open a facility in New Jersey, it would need to comply with New Jersey’s healthcare facility regulations, such as those outlined in the New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C.) for hospital and outpatient services. Summary: Article 28 benefits are specific to New York State, and a clinic would need to individually meet the regulatory requirements of any other state it wishes to operate in. This includes obtaining appropriate licenses, adhering to state regulations, and establishing necessary contracts for health care services in each state.
