Physical Therapists Financial Tools in Georgia — FAQ

What business entity should a PT practice use in Georgia?

Most physical therapy practices in Georgia form a PLLC or PC ($110 filing fee). This provides liability protection and meets professional licensing requirements. Some Georgia regulations may restrict PTs to specific business entity types.

Do physical therapy practices in Georgia 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 Georgia?

Opening a physical therapy practice in Georgia 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 Georgia?

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