Physical Therapists Financial Tools in Florida — FAQ

What business entity should a PT practice use in Florida?

Most physical therapy practices in Florida form a PLLC or PC ($125 filing fee). This provides liability protection and meets professional licensing requirements. Some Florida regulations may restrict PTs to specific business entity types.

Do physical therapy practices in Florida need specialized banking?

Yes — PT practices manage complex revenue cycles including insurance reimbursements, patient copays, and workers' compensation payments. A business bank with AI bookkeeping can auto-reconcile payments from multiple payers and track per-visit revenue.

What's the average startup cost for a PT practice in Florida?

Opening a physical therapy practice in Florida typically costs $100,000–$400,000 for equipment, office build-out, EHR system, and initial operating capital. Many PTs start in a smaller space or sublease within a gym/medical office to reduce costs.

How do direct access laws affect PT practices in Florida?

Florida may require a physician referral before patients can receive PT treatment, which affects your intake workflow and referral relationships.
