Listen on:
15 November 2023
In this episode, Jody, Sean, and Leanne discuss common questions and issues related to physiotherapy business practices.
- Is it appropriate for a physiotherapist to continue to sell their services without demonstrable progress toward the patient’s goals, or is that a conflict of interest?
- Where does demonstrable progress fit into decisions about providing ongoing care or discharging a patient?
- What about maintenance plans for patients with chronic conditions?
- Are there rules or requirements to keep in mind when selling physiotherapy equipment or products?
- What about incentive contracts that see physiotherapists receive a bonus based on volume of product sales?
- What are the risks of accepting pre-payment for physiotherapy services?
We address all these questions in this episode.
