Re: After Hours personal training for private clients

[Guest guest]

In the same line..what about a staff member who wants to provide massage to

our patients and their own " clients " in my office space in the evenings and

weekends? I think the liability issue is still present. How do other clinics

who also offer massage or personal training after hours?

Any info could be useful as everyone is trying to make that extra buck.

Thanks.

We have found that the easiest and fairest way to do this is split the fee

50/50.  This applies to all lines of business in our practice where we use

contracters to provide services.  Make sure that they set their own schedule,

although it will be more convenient to have potential clients call your central

number for scheduling.  Your goal is to have the community think of your

practice for these services.
