How do you handle PT assessments in terms of payments?
Do you include assessments as part of a package? Are your assessments free/included with other purchased sessions? Do you charge for a session for your assessment? Do you have clients who don’t want an assessment (even though they should have one)? Do you require one? Any help on this topic would be great!
Hello Kelly Serfas Bower,
I charge an hourly rate for the initial assessment as I would for a training session. The time it takes me to go over all the information and do research if necessary, design a program and print it out takes more time that I am not being compensated for. This is a huge step which cannot be avoided.
With that being said, the client is not forced to do anything against their will; but, I do need their past and present history to take care of them properly.
Are you referring to physical assessments in particular? Once again, the client is boss with gentle nudging from me; but, no pushing.
Take care,
Natalie
