If you’re thinking of starting a private pay practice, or adding private pay services to your practice, don’t assume patients will just pay it. You have to convince them. How? My guests today run a private pay physical therapy practice and attract patients who could use their insurance with other physical therapists, but don’t. They tell us how they do it.

Jeff Bitter, DPT, opened CustomFit Concierge in 2017 to best serve the physical therapy and health needs of the community of Chicago and surrounding areas. This practice was intentionally designed to offer services 1:1 with clients in their home, as a private “for hire” mobile practice. Jeff has 11 years of experience in physical therapy and he’s certified in TPI for golf and geriatrics and COMT for manual skills.

Rick Tilquist is a partner and practicing physical therapist at CustomFit Concierge. He’s approaching 10 years of experience treating patients. Rick specializes in helping geriatric patients as well as those with orthopedic, neurological and weight loss issues. Rick also treats patients with Parkinson’s Disease.

In this episode Carl White Jeff Bitter and Rick Tilquist discuss:

• Why they chose the private pay route instead of insurance based
• How they convince patients to choose their practice instead of others
• What they’ve learned since opening to make their practice more competitive
