RE: Re: billable units/8 hour day

[Guest guest]

,

Just curious ... is an 11 patient case-load automatically equal to 33

units or are you just averaging for illustrative purposes? Are these

" billed " units or " scheduled " units? (I recently spoke with a Director

who uses Scheduled because of the difficulty managing cancels and

no-show in the outpatient setting - interesting) Also wondering how

much credit, i.e. how many units to you give therapists for completing

an Assessment/Evaluation?

Thanks.

We pay bonuses based on productivity, we consider 100% productivity in

an 8 hour day to be 33 units (11 pts), our bonus structure starts with

an average of 9 patients per day/ month (91% productivity) or 27 units

and goes up from there. To add some insight, we schedule all pts. one

on one, with evals x 60 mins, follow ups x 45 mins (unless otherwise

specified by the PT) and 30 mins for lunch.

Hope this helps
