Physical Therapy Clinic input evidence register

A linked reference can support scope without confirming an exact forecast. Assumption entries identify values that still require local validation. Each field path identifies an input in the common business record.

• Model assumption

  All opening dollars and range endpoints are authored. The $550,000 allocation comprises $150,000 fit-out, $65,000 equipment, $30,000 furniture/IT, $25,000 deposits/opening occupancy, $20,000 professional setup/credentials/launch and $260,000 reserve. Sources support budgeting and obligations, not quoted costs. A roughly 3,000-square-foot leased clinic is assumed; coordinated local quotes and a receivable schedule remain necessary. Current vendor anchors: four $2,246.36 base treatment tables total $8,985.44 before options, freight and tax; a 10-foot parallel-bar unit is $1,266.60 before its displayed $750 curbside freight estimate. The $65,000 complete equipment allowance is deliberately broader: $14,000 tables/accessories, $3,000 bars/balance, $18,000 cardio/resistance, $10,000 other therapy apparatus, $8,000 assessment/small equipment, and $12,000 freight/tax/installation/contingency. Only the named vendor configurations are observed prices; other allocations are unquoted assumptions.

• Model assumption

  All revenue inputs are authored net realized service revenue. Mature: $145 × 24 completed clinic visits/day × 5 days × 4.33 weeks × 12 months = $904,104. Year 1 sums .40+.05/month capped at 1 for the first 12 months, averaging .675. Year 2 is 90% of mature revenue. Years 4 and 5 use $150 × 25 and $155 × 26 daily visits on the same schedule. Sources establish payment and delay context, not these prices or demand. Austin Physical Therapy posts $150 cash-pay visits; Western Slope posts $150 evaluation and $115 45-minute follow-up. These are individual retail fee examples, not collectible payer rates. An illustrative 80% of completed visits at $150 net and 20% at $125 net yields the selected $145 blend; mix and net values are assumptions requiring local validation.

  An authored 8% variable expense comprises 4% outsourced billing/collection administration, 2% payment expense and 2% consumables. It is applied to net revenue and rounded to whole dollars. Denials/noncollection are already in the net-fee definition and are not deducted again. These rates are not vendor quotes; salaried therapists remain in payroll.

  Authored annual base compensation: four therapists at $100,000 including the owner, one reception/billing coordinator at $50,000 and half-time administration at $25,000, totaling $475,000. A selected 20% combined employer-cost/benefit/relief allowance gives $570,000. This remains fixed for the first three planning years, then increases 4% annually. May 2025 BLS medians provide context, not local offers or this burden allowance; leave and owner management reduce completed utilization.

  Authored $150,000 annual fixed overhead comprises $72,000 rent/common occupancy, $12,000 utilities, $18,000 practice software/IT, $12,000 insurance, $18,000 marketing, $9,000 cleaning/laundry/routine upkeep and $9,000 accounting/legal/administration. Years 4 and 5 add 4% annually. Sources describe planning and responsibilities; they do not establish local prices or insurance adequacy.

• Model assumption

  Every calculator value is authored. $145 net fee, 24 completed daily visits clinic-wide, 5 days/week, $60,000 monthly fixed cost and 92% contribution reconcile with Year 3. Four therapists × 8 available one-hour blocks × 75% completed utilization = 24 visits; blocks include notes and transition, and leave/gaps are included in utilization. Sensitivity ranges of $110–$175, 16–32 visits and 4–6 days are exploratory bounds, not empirical national ranges. Six days requires extra funded coverage. The .40 start plus .05/month ramp over 24 months is a test, not an observed startup timeline. Posted individual clinic fees anchor the order of magnitude but do not validate the $145 blended net receipt or the sensitivity endpoints.
