Physical Therapy Private Practice: Secrets of the Top 10%

As we pay more attention to the innovative leaders within our profession, it’s easy to see that we need to break out of the mold we have been working in over the past 4 decades and be revolutionary about how to operate in 2020. We all know that being a great clinician does not equate to you being successful at running a physical therapy private practice. You have to obtain the skills and continue to grow both personally and professionally. Successful business leaders will tell you that when you are looking to dismantle and restructure any operating basis, you must pilot the new model while continuing to run the existing model until you get the new model de-bugged and dialed in before you abandon the old. This week, we’re breaking down where we are today in private practice, and what we have to do now to succeed in 2020 and beyond.   Episode at a glance:  Educate your team on any system or structural changes.  Create an element of giving for you and your team to take pride in that promotes the purpose of your practice within your community. Run an end of the year summary report and then use that base your upcoming year BSP on so that you have real numbers set for a 15% growth (min).  You need a form of career development training within your practice that is promoted and used with the sole purpose of enhancing skills both personally and professionally.

Ep.93: 5 Things Private Practice Owners Need to Know in 2020

There are three types of clinicians. These clinicians are categorized based on experience: New grad, the advanced therapist, and the veteran therapist. Today we’re focusing on the new grad. The new grad is defined as a physical therapist who is 1-3 years out of school. They come out of school still high on the learning and high on the mentoring curve and are really focused on wanting to become the best therapist they can be. They’re seeking professional growth through continuing education outside the office and professional enhancement inside the office, therefore, a continuing education program is simply not enough these days. The top private practices across the country already know this and have solved this by creating internal mentorship programs for their new grad hires. This week we’re talking about how to best hire, train and retain the new grad therapists. But, this is only part one of a three-part series of podcasts in which we’ll be discussing all three of these different types of therapists and how best to hire, train and retain them.

Ep.102: What Does it Take to be a Successful Practice Owner

There is a lot of noise in the digital marketing space. It’s going to take 7 touches from your physical therapy practice for people to remember your brand. While many practice owners we talk to know the importance of marketing and know the concept of marketing is important, they lack the management of marketing to really be successful.

Ep.86: Is Now the Time to Open a Private Practice?

This week, Brian is elaborating on some conversations with students that he had at CSM. Students and new graduates, you have to be willing to look at yourself and where you are in the profession. New grads and students often have a slightly resentful attitude towards employers based solely on the ideas that they have before even entering the workforce. This is playing into what many consider to be an already over inflated self-entitlement point of view from today’s graduating students. This is not only having a negative impact on their careers and the profession of Physical Therapy overall, but also is impacting private practice owners across the country. At a time when private practice owners are already dealing with excessive regulations, decreasing reimbursement, increased competition from hospital systems and physician owned clinics.  We are all DPT’s and we need more understanding and collaboration – not less – in order to strengthen our profession.  So let’s talk about how to get on the same page.  Episode at a glance:  Hire the applicant that is excited to get the invitation to join your group. Not the one who wants to explore all their options. Blame academia and the federal government. This story from  REVEAL shares the real student loan crisis going on. Having a student loan compensation plan is a great benefit - so long as your employee is in full exchange (i.e. working tues - sat for an extra $10,000 on their salary).

Ep.101: What the Heck is Going on in DPT Schools?

Leadership skills are not something that I believe most of us a born with.

Ep.69: Good Employees are Seeking Owners with Good Leadership Skills

This week we’re chatting with our Director of Remote Management Services, Abby Keyton, PT. Abby is a physical therapist and started working with Brian as a travel therapist at his clinic in Maryland. During her time in the clinic, she worked her way up to clinical director followed by COO. For the past three years, she’s been working with MEG first as a practice coach and then managing offices remotely and working with owners throughout the country. In this episode, she’s sharing some real life experiences that she’s had running clinics around the nation as well as some solid tips for how to be an effective and successful clinical director.  Episode at a glance:  When you are interviewing and hiring, hire staff members based on a person’s beingness not on the resume bullet points. You can always train and enhance their skills if they are the right person. Be committed to the mission, vision, and goals of the practice. Get your team on board by being willing (and able) to break down the process to achieve those goals. You have to have a career development training system. Put time and money into key personnel if you want them to operate at the highest level. As a leader, you have to be willing to say what you don’t know and be willing to recognize and seek out opportunities to gain more knowledge. If you notice things aren’t right with a staff member, approach them based out of care to find out what's going on. This is a great rule of thumb with any sort of conflict resolution.

Ep.94: How to be a Successful Clinical Director

How did I come up with the four keys to private practice success? Well, after hitting rock bottom in my own practice, I invested in becoming the best owner that I could be by learning everything I needed to know. This led me to consulting where I learned, after working with hundreds of practices, that there was a sequence to follow and key elements that needed to be in place to be successful. The better one followed them, the more successful they became. The four keys to success are:   Environment Structure and Organization Personnel Management Systems of Operation/SOP’s  So many practice owners who talk to us are focused on doing, doing, doing. But that is not going to make you a better owner, nor is teaching your staff. Training advances skills, teaching just educates.

Ep77: The Secret to Creating Maximum Clinical Efficiency

Let’s face it, not many people in this world get very far without making some money. In this podcast, Brian shares his successful actions and tips on how to make more of it! So, be a “go-getter” and learn how to make better money so as to improve your quality of life, live more comfortably, and get the most out of doing what you love.   Episode at a glance:  SBA loans are great options when opening your practice. They usually fund about 80% of what you ask for. Success is considered making 16 cents for every dollar (16% net revenue) though ideally, 20 cents on the dollar. Don't continue marketing activities that don't bring in a 200% return on investment. Master your internal AND external marketing so that 60% of your evals are from return business. When it comes to managing your expenses break it down so that 10% goes to your operation costs, rent should be less than 10% of gross income, and payroll should be 50% or less. Make the most out of your money by writing off expenses, reducing taxable income, giving yourself a base salary and then taking distributions.

Ep.91: How to Make More Money

Daniel Seidler

“It’s all about education, duplication and application.” Brian centers this week’s podcast around tips for financing your startup and to continue growing your practice. This is a process you need to know how to map out in order to do it properly and in the correct, systematic order. Brian outlines these steps while reminding the listener that money should not be the end goal, but it is valid to strive to live the life that you envision for yourself. Check your purpose!  Episode at a glance:  Many practices are moving to a model that replaces cancelations and no shows.  With the right telehealth platform, you can treat patients from home or consult/screen them remotely. Every state has different telehealth regulations.  Here's a good resource listed by state. Most states you can treat from anywhere, but you need to be licensed in the state where your patients are. Coverage and reimbursements are different - but many states have parity. This means coverage and/or reimbursement is the same as if the patient were being seen in office. Many private practice owners who have succeeded having telehealth in their practice started offering the service as a cash-based service.  You do need a HIPAA compliant platform - meaning the technology you’re using to connect with the patient. There are telehealth platforms that do this and are secure.  Telehealth complements your care, it does not replace it.   About Daniel Seidler, PT Daniel has a Masters in Physical Therapy from Columbia University and has been practicing since 1996. He is the founder and former owner of WSPT in the Bronx, NY. He specializes in treating back pain and chronic pain conditions. Daniel is an innovator in the delivery of Physical Therapy and a national leader in Telehealth PT. What's missing from your private practice?

Ep.104: How to Help Your Patients with Telehealth Services (Feat. Daniel Seidler, PT)

Lisa Chase

Ever wonder about the doctor that your doctor goes to? Well, this week Brian is chatting with Lisa Chase, PT, owner of Back to Normal PT in St. Petersburg, FL. She’s an expert physical therapist and shares her background in physical therapy and how she has built a unique and successful practice using innovative technologies and education. Today, she’s sharing her experience, and the technology she utilizes that has catapulted her success as a therapist, practice owner and has helped her treat thousands of patients and professional athletes in a holistic way.  Episode at a glance:  The mystery is in the history. If you take the time to listen to your patients, and ask the right questions, your patients will tell you exactly where you need to go.  Find the game changers and the differentiators - Neubie E-Stim, Dry Needling, ASTYM, magnet therapy, etc. Find a way to have 20% of your GI come from self-pay if you’re still in the insurance model.  Think through the full journey of the patient.  If you have a foundation in manual therapy, Lisa can come in and teach the Exercise foundational course. If you want to get patients better faster or if you want to get a certification, go to Michigan State. You do not need to take the exercise course to use Rehablinks.  Lisa can be reached at: healing@back2normalpt.com or by visiting her website.  What's missing from your private practice?

Ep.92: What Successful Owners Change About Themselves and Why

It doesn’t take long before you hear a label tossed around within any group or profession these days. Labels lead to subdivisions which per the definition of the word itself results in dividing us.  For those of us who have gone from employee to employer, it’s a bit unfair that we have to contend with new grads who have been given the impression from academia that it’s “buyer beware” when accepting an out-patient physical therapy position. The impression sometimes given off from academia is that being a private practice owner is sometimes motivated by greed contributing to the willingness to bend the rules by imposing unethical standards or productivity goals that encourage unethical behavior. This has not been my experience.  Here’s how to fix this within your practice: you have to share a common message with your staff. You are a therapist too. You went to Physical Therapy School. You care as much about your patients. But you didn’t settle, you wanted more, and that is why you went into owning your own clinic. Share your “why” with your staff. They need to understand why you risked time and money to open your private practice. When your staff gets your purpose and your motivations, they’ll connect with that. Today we’re talking about a PT in Motion article about a survey that states that too much focus on productivity, increases the risk of unethical behavior. Listen to learn about why this is misleading and how researchers got it wrong and why we need to bridge the gap between employers and employees.

Ep.73: Setting the Record Straight Between Employers and Employees

A few clients have recently been asking us about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) we decided to do a podcast chatting about the basics. SEO – search engine optimization – is all about how your clinic gets found online. Think about how you last searched for a specialist or a restaurant. You likely searched for “Best XYZ near me,” right? This is local search. So, even though you may have a solid list of referring doctors, you have to assume that patients are still searching online for you even before they pick up the phone to schedule an appointment. How, or if, you show up on Google searches matters to attracting new patients – if you’re not showing up at all that’s a huge problem and is damaging your bottom line given what we know about consumer behavior and our digital age.  It can be daunting and overwhelming to those not trained in marketing, but there are a number of minor things your marketing staff can do to improve how well your practice shows up online and in local searches. So this week we’re talk about some basic SEO tips you can share with your team, and if you do choose to work with an outsourced marketing team, some tips for success for working with ANY outsourced partner.  Here's your guide to acquire, retain and manage patients effectively - Marketing Strategies Toolkit

LEAD

Have you ever felt like you were walking on eggshells around your staff? Or, maybe you felt like you needed to think twice about what you wanted to say to a staff member for fear of upsetting them, or worse that they might quit? These are all symptoms of a bigger problem. They show a lack of leadership and lack of confront. There are only two ways you can be and only one of them can exist at any one time. You can either be in control and be at cause over what is going on and what is being done by you. Or, you can be the effect of others and what is going on to you.    Check out our NEW Packages &amp; Pricing in MEG Academy!   Grab one of our top resources, the Physical Therapy Personnel Toolkit

Ep.62: Lead Your Staff, Don't Let Them Lead You

This week we’re talking about partnerships. Partnerships are often formed because there is some aspect of business that you don’t want to confront. In general, we don’t recommend opening a practice with a partnership (with few exceptions). This episode, Brian dives into the challenges that business partnerships face, and how to overcome and confront that which you don’t know.  Episode at a glance:  50+% of all marriages (the most common partnership) end in divorce. However, that number has been dropping thanks to the millennials who are getting married later. The two biggest reasons for partnership feuds are time and money. Don't seek out a partner because there are areas of business you don't want to confront. Don't tie yourself up with tasks that are not physical therapy related that you can outsource - such as billing. You can always hire team members with knowledge and skills in areas you are weaker in.  Learn more about how we can get you to the top 10% in physical therapy private practice
