Excellent book, great to start out with but I don't fully agree with all of the author's business approaches. Especially if you want to open up multiple offices. I do suggest the read, it is straight forward and has the essentials you need to know. Well worth it.
I am in the midst of starting my own PT practice. I had a few questions about insurance, and a few other particulars about starting this type of company. This book was very helpful, very informative, and gave a lot of references of where to go to get information. I read other reviews saying it wasn't a good "marketing" book, or the book seemed like the author was trying to talk you out of openning your own PT practice, but its not a marketing book and the author is just preparing you for possible pit-falls of the business. Excellent book if you are thinking of starting your own PT practice, I got a lot of valuable info out of it!!
This is an excellent resource in starting your own practice. I am using it for a project, but I would highly recommend it. It has some great practical ideas and suggestions.
I purchased this book for the intent of helping me write a business plan. The book is quite useful for the purpose of starting a physical therapy business. It contains helpful service benchmarks and loads of patient forms and examples of important documents needed in preparing your business plan. I would not recommend the book if you're interested in management tips; it is geared primarily for start-ups or new businesses. Very well written and easy to understand.
Since I had recently opened my own practice, I thought the book would give insight on where to market and some tools needed for marketing and just tips on how to efficiently run an outpatient clinic. I found this book to be not so helpful,it seemed as if the author wanted to steer anyone away from having their own practice and a lot of the reading was very vague, so... purchase at your own risk
As a physician considering offering PT services,I found this book excellent. Everything from ICD-9 to CPT crosswalks, to negotiating with managed care, to courting a referring doctor is covered here. Good general primer on running any type of healthcare practice.
I have thoroughly enjoyed and read this wonderful masterpiece of a how-to-book! A great buy for anyone interested in starting and managing their own physical therapy practice.
