Pros

Positives include some great patients - but as a PT you'll get to experience some of them almost anywhere. I was able to get really strong in my manual skills because that's all I was ever able to do - exercises were all directed by a tech because of the volume of the caseload. You really learn how to become efficient, which can help you when you find your next job. Good insurance benefits also, if you pay for their big package.

Cons

There were so many issues here...in no particular order of importance: Hours - If your hours are 9-6 and you leave at 6, you get a critical eye thinking you're not doing all you can for your patient. You will work frequent Saturdays which are unpaid. You will work holidays. You will work many unpaid hours. This will be sold as "doing what's best for the patient" which is a bit disingenuous given that the patient is still getting billed for services at that time. You will be overworked. There will be times when you will be responsible for 8 patients at one time, and if you block your schedule to try to avoid it you will be reprimanded. Low salary with no pay raises while I was there, no bonuses while i was there, and they cut 401k matching while I was there. You will be asked to bill at least 66 units in an 8 hour day by yourself, and at least double that in your team of you, a PTA, and a tech. If you're looking for a challenge, maybe this job is for you, but if you're looking for a job that values your license and your professional decision-making, you should probably look elsewhere. I also had a series of patients that I discharged in less than 10 visits, a couple less than 5 visits....that decision was challenged by management despite the FACT that these patients no longer met medical necessity and continuing to see them would have constituted fraud.

Thank you for taking the time to detail your work experience with us; we are always seeking the best experience possible for our patients and employees. We would like to note that all employees are trained, educated and sign an acknowledgement form (at new hire and annually thereafter) on company compliance programs and are required to document and submit any known concerns in regard to documentation and coding. All of our facilities are staffed with licensed clinicians who are expected to act in accordance with federal and state guidelines – this includes billing according to the services and level of supervision provided and proper utilization of support staff. We expect all of our therapists to provide thorough treatment and treat their patients until all functional goals are met and for as long as services are considered medically necessary – patient length of stay is not dictated by company protocol. Our therapists are responsible for managing their own active caseload schedule for themselves and their PTA. If you have further concerns, we welcome the opportunity to discuss them with you so that we can ensure a positive work experience for our current staff at this location. You may reach out to me at joann@drayerpt.com. Joann Bowen, Director of Human Resources
