billable time standards

[Guest guest]

My PT staff receives a bonus (into their IRA) for every pay period where

their productive time is 80% or greater. The 80% is calculated on total

work time minus scheduled meetings and documentation time. I suspect that

this scenario is exceptionally generous however I want to check with you all

to see your standards, as well as how much scheduled documentation time you

provide, in-services, PT meetings, etc.

During the average full time week, each PT receives:

45 minutes of documentation time per day (everyone works four 10-hr days)

1 hour of journal club every 6 weeks

One hour in-service every 6 weeks

one 1/2 hr. clinician meeting every week

our average ns/cx rate is 10%.

IF A RESIDENT/MENTEE: one additional .75 hr. meeting/week

That comes up to 6.8 to 7.55 hours per week of non-billable time. I am

curious to see if this is above/below or on par with what your standards are

in your private outpatient PT practice.
