Written by Cindy Bercaw | January 2, 2024

Are you looking for ways to increase revenue in your private physical therapy practice? Although so many things contribute to your revenue growth, there are a handful of steps you can implement right now to get the ball rolling.

Simply keeping your appointment schedule full and maximizing the value of your patients is the key to increasing your revenue. Here are 5 ways to accomplish this:

 

Decrease Cancellations and No-Shows

Cancellations and no-shows are going to happen no matter what, but that’s no reason to turn a blind eye to them! Most cancellations and no-shows can be prevented if you and your team remain diligent.

Increase Your Referral Conversions

Do you know your referral conversion rate? (That’s the rate of referrals that come into your business and get scheduled). If not, you may be letting many referrals slip through the cracks. You need a smooth system for collecting incoming referrals and following up to ensure they get put on the schedule for evals. We've developed a suite of referral tracking and management tools resources, including this free guide that will teach you how to implement the most effective methods for a PT private practice.

Offer Performance-Based Incentives for Your Staff PTs

By offering bonuses for great performance, your staff physical therapists will be incentivized to keep their schedules full and will achieve higher productivity. Money can be a great motivator in many cases, and if your employees are performing better, so will your revenue.

Offer Retail Products in Your Practice

 

If you don’t already offer products in your practice – you should! There’s no need to be pushy with these products; offer products that will benefit your patients. You are the expert on the best PT products available to improve health and wellness; why not offer them right there in your practice and save your patients time searching for them elsewhere? If you’re already offering retail products in your clinic, here’s how you can skyrocket those sales to increase revenue.

 

Offer Extra Services to Your Patients

Although this could require additional staffing, offering extra services to your patients is a huge revenue generator and increases the overall value of each patient. Additionally, services like massage or weight loss would benefit so many of your patients and give you a chance to keep your patients around longer after discharge.

Unfortunately, running a successful private practice requires dealing with numbers – not just treating patients. In order to be profitable and grow in this competitive industry, you need to manage your business like a business.
