Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Is it my imagination but does that seem like a lot of procedures per hour/day. (4 timed procedures+1 modality per visit @ 9 visits per day (45 units billed per day if I read this correctly). Article was written by Cary B Edgar who is a lawyer and former CEO for an unknown outpatient rehab company. Also, I see they are establishing benchmarks for physicians in a group practice also which I could partially see thru search terms. I could not tell if they were as rigorous as the PT ones. PT must be a business with expectations but I am surprised that they would actually want these standards published for any public review. Steve Passmore PT, MS Healthy Recruiting Tools spass@...
