Description

Get .1 ASHA CEU hereThere are so many things that go into setting up a private practice, we simply couldn’t squeeze them all into one episode! After we recorded our first episode (“Setting up a Private Practice Part 1: Liability and financial considerations”) we got a lot of questions related to documentation and logistics that we hadn’t covered. What pieces of information do you have to include in your clinical documentation? What things does insurance require in documentation? What about intake paperwork? HIPAA disclosures? And the more fun stuff - logos? Renting office space? Oof - it really is a lot to think about when you are just starting out!Once the questions started coming in we realized we had left out so much. So, Part 2 was born. We hope this information is helpful. And, incase you hadn’t heard, we LOVE hearing from our listeners and we are passionate about private practice logistics.
