Most private practice owners quickly switched gears to offer telehealth and other virtual services during the COVID 19 Pandemic. Some owners also added in home outpatient therapy care. 6 months later, owners are asking, should I continue these models, expand upon them or discontinue them. In this session we will explore the pros and cons of these alternative treatment models including compliance challenges, scheduling challenges, acceptance by patients, financial implications and marketing strategies for alternative treatment models in an outpatient therapy practice

Learning Objectives:

Articulate the key compliance elements for telehealth, virtual care and in home outpatient therapy.
Analyze the key metrics for continuing or discontinuing alternative treatment models
Articulate marketing strategies for each alternative treatment model.
