1. What Is Therapy Productivity?

Therapy productivity measures the efficiency of therapy sessions by calculating the percentage of billable time versus total working time. It helps therapists and clinics optimize their schedule and revenue.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the productivity formula:

Where:

• Billable Minutes — Time spent on client-billable activities
• Total Minutes — Total working time during the period

Explanation: This formula calculates the percentage of working time that is directly billable to clients or insurance.

3. Importance Of Productivity Calculation

Details: Tracking therapy productivity helps clinics maintain financial health, optimize therapist schedules, identify efficiency opportunities, and ensure appropriate billing practices.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter billable minutes and total minutes as positive numbers. Total minutes must be greater than zero, and billable minutes cannot exceed total minutes.
