In this episode, Aaron LeBauer—one of the leading advocates for cash-based physical therapy—shares how and why he built a thriving practice outside the insurance model.

  • Why Cash Pay?
    Insurance limits patient care. Aaron started his own clinic to deliver better outcomes with fewer constraints.
  • First Step for Insurance-Based Clinics:
    Start by offering one cash-pay service. Test interest and build confidence.
  • Must-Have Systems:
    • Clear pricing & value messaging
    • Lead follow-up processes
    • Strong patient communication
  • How to Communicate the Shift:
    Be upfront. Focus on results and quality. Offer transition options if needed.
  • Marketing That Works:
    • Educational content
    • Community outreach
    • Google Ads & SEO for intent-based searches
  • Challenges vs. Advantages:
    Cash pay requires educating patients, but it also brings more freedom and attracts highly motivated clients.
