10 Ways Cash-Based Practices INCREASE Access to Care

Writer's picture: Nicole CozeanNicole Cozean

We hear it from PT schools, insurance-based practices and even worry about this as cash-based business owners - are we 'decreasing access to care' by not contracting with insurance companies?



5 Reminders When Treating Chronic Pain
 

Pelvic PT Rising: The pelvic health tools to make you a better clinician and/or a more successful business owner. We want every single pelvic health practitioner to be more confident and successful in your practice and career!

  • Clinical Courses: Game-changing online courses to make you more confident, challenge your thinking and improve patient outcomes

The rise of cash practices has dramatically INCREASED access to care over the last 5-10 years. It's driven the rapid growth of our specialty and field.


It's not to say we don't need insurance-based practices. We absolutely do. Increased choice is important to provide the best care to patients.


But we also need cash-based services if we want to increase access to care. We're no longer apologizing for charging for our services!


  1. Reducing long wait times - If you have to wait 3 months to get into a pelvic therapy appointment, many people won't go

  2. Distance - Opening new practices reduces the distance some people have to drive to get help

  3. Longer appointments - For those who have to travel, being able to offer 2-hour (or longer) appointments maximizes the benefit of their trip

  4. Calm, peaceful setting - Cash practices generally are set up for pelvic therapy and can be quieter, calmer places for healing

  5. Transparent, fair pricing - Most people now have high deductibles, and until those deductibles are met are often surprised by (artificially) high bills

  6. Full plans of care - At cash practices no one is discharged early because they have run out of insurance benefits

  7. Home visits & telehealth - Cash practices can be more nimble and offer different types of appointments to increase access to care

  8. Community education & social media - The single biggest growth in our field has been cash-based practices educating the public

  9. Provider education - Changing minds with meetings and training

  10. Reducing burnout - By providing great places to work, we reduce burnout and keep talent therapists in the field longer, helping more people
