Be careful about your billing.
Some clinics will charge full one-on-one units for time spent while patients overlap or while you are working with an aide. (Aides are trained on the job, with no schooling or licenses.) That is a big no-no. Biiiiiiiig no-no.
Time spent exercising under the direction of an aide should be free of charge. Time spent while you are sharing the therapist's time with another patient should be charged at a lower group rate.
ETA: I worked for 2 1/2 years in a clinic that practiced fraudulent billing, and to this day I wish I'd blown the whistle.
