I wonder which Provider Type your practice is.

A Physical Therapist in Private Practice (PTPP) is physical therapist owned,

and may only offer PT. An Outpatient Rehab Agency (ORF) may be owned by

non-therapists or corporations, and may offer PT, OT, and SLP or other

medical services.

Last week, I was called by a multi-office practice seeking to recruit

several physical therapists. They reportedly provide only PT, and staff

with " A PT, one or two PTAs, and 'techs' who do treat patients. " The

administrator was unable to describe which provider type the organization

is... but was able to describe how a PT, an LPTA, and two " techs " can treat

125+ visits per week.

It's really important to know which provider type you are.
