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!
I charge my assessments as an hourly rate, as I do all my sessions, rather than packages. I’ve never had a client refuse an assessment as I explain its their baseline. Baselines are neither good, nor bad, they’re just a starting point, giving me a better understanding as to where we need to start and where they are starting in regards to reaching their goal. Afterall, if we don’t know where we’re starting from, how will we know how far we’ve come?
