Guest guest Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Rick, I suggest you bill them just like you do your regular patients. If you have some other arrangement with them for the on-site work, then you should continue with that arrangement and perhaps add an overhead amount. In my PT Benchmark study last year the facility expense median was 8.5% of income. Since the median income per visit was $77.40 that would mean the facility expense per visit was about $6.58 - but I'd round that up considerably to allow for other expenses like supplies and office labor. Contact me if you'd like more information, or attend my presentation on PT Benchmark 2006 at the PPS Annual Conference in Miami Beach on Thursday 10/12/06 2 pm. Chuck R. Felder HCS Consulting, Inc.

Sent: Monday, October 02, 2006 1:13 PM To: PTManager Subject: Needing some help! We currently contract with a large corporation here in our area. They will potentially be going on strike in the next couple of days. Their employees will not be able to cross the picket line to get onsite to do their therapy. They have requested to have all of these patients come to our facility. My question is, (I I understand that it is heavily dependent on what we pay per square foot, the inconvenience it would bring to our patients, whether they would utilize our modalities, staffing, equipment etc...). What ballpark figure would you charge this corporation for the use of your facility. They currently have about 21 patients or 60 - 70 patient visits per week. Can anyone help me with some ideas? I am just trying to come up with all angles in order to determine the hourly or weekly charge. Should I do it/visit, /hour, /day, /week? Any help or opinions would be great. Thanks in advance!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Kind of confused. The employees are on strike but the company should foot the bill? Do you only see work comp patients there? If so, then I could see them paying the bill. If you see other patient's I know of companies that will pay for the clinic and the patient doesn't use their primary insurance. However, when the employee goes for treatment outside of the facility then they have deductibles, etc. So, what will you be seeing? I find it interesting that an employee would strike and a company would cover their visits for non work related treatment. Matt Capo, PT Accelerated Physical Therapy and Occupational Health, Inc.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 All we see are the work comp patients at the plant. Their work comp benefits continue while on strike.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Are the employees unionized? If so it could be in the union contract to apy for medical bills while the contract is in disbute or Negotiations.
