Physical Therapists Financial Tools in Maryland — FAQ

What business entity should a PT practice use in Maryland?

Most physical therapy practices in Maryland form a PLLC or PC ($100 filing fee). This provides liability protection and meets professional licensing requirements. Some Maryland regulations may restrict PTs to specific business entity types.

Do physical therapy practices in Maryland 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 Maryland?

Opening a physical therapy practice in Maryland 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 Maryland?

In Maryland, patients can see a physical therapist directly without a physician referral (direct access), which can increase your patient volume and streamline scheduling.
