Physical Therapists Banking in Texas — FAQ

What business entity should a PT practice use in Texas?

Most physical therapy practices in Texas form a PLLC or PC ($300 filing fee). This provides liability protection and meets professional licensing requirements. Some Texas regulations may restrict PTs to specific business entity types.

Do physical therapy practices in Texas 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 Texas?

Opening a physical therapy practice in Texas 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 Texas?

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