The 3 Most Common Pricing Mistakes in Cash-Based PT Clinics (And How to Fix Them)

In this tactical solo episode, Doc Danny breaks down the three most common pricing mistakes he sees in cash-based physical therapy clinics—and exactly what to do instead. Whether you're a solo provider or growing a team, these pricing missteps can kill your profit, limit patient outcomes, and create headaches as you scale.

🔑 Key Takeaways

Undercharging Is the #1 Killer – Most clinicians start with prices that are far too low, usually based on insurance rates or old employer cash rates. Charge what you’re worth—or your business will pay for it.
Tiny Packages = Short-Term Outcomes – 3 or 5-visit packages may feel easier to sell, but they rarely solve chronic problems. Larger packages mean better care, better results, and more long-term retention.
No Payment Plan? You’re Losing Sales – Patients make buying decisions based on monthly cost, not just total price. Offering a simple payment plan increases conversion and helps people commit to solving the real issue.

💬 Real Talk from Doc Danny

"Say your price out loud—and if it doesn’t make you slightly uncomfortable, it’s probably too low."
