Ep905 | Why Your Staff PTs Can't Work 20 Hours and Make $100K

Doc Danny breaks down one of the toughest leadership conversations in a cash-based clinic: how much volume staff clinicians actually need to see. He explains the math behind compensation, why "part-time work for full-time pay" creates problems, and how owners can respond with both empathy and clarity. In This Episode, You'll Learn Why staff volume and compensation expectations often create tension in cash-based clinics The two main variables that determine provider revenue generation Why gross revenue per provider is one of the most important metrics to track How the "one-third rule" helps protect profitability Why some work-life balance requests are reasonable and others are not financially sustainable How to communicate expectations clearly without losing empathy When a schedule problem may actually be a career fit problem Key Takeaway If you want to pay staff well, the business has to stay profitable. That means providers need to generate enough revenue through visit volume and average visit rate to support compensation, overhead, and long-term business stability.
