Overview

Team Rehab is a network of therapist-owned outpatient physical therapy clinics in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Georgia.

Our mission is to provide the best outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. We want our patients to enjoy therapy and experience clear improvements in their health. Our clinics receive the highest levels of patient satisfaction and our patients receive the best objectively measurable outcomes. Our strategy, based on excellent quality and patient satisfaction, is gaining momentum. Since opening our first clinic in 2001, we have grown across Michigan and into Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Georgia. We continue to open additional clinics in order to make physical, occupational and speech therapy even more accessible to our patients, their friends and their families.

The Common Standards all Team Rehabilitation Employees are held to include:

Never say anything disrespectful about any group, whether they are formally protected by law or not.

Never use language that another member of staff or patient finds offensive.
No pictures, signs or the like that a patient or another member of staff finds offensive.
No discrimination in hiring, training or promotion based on race, religion, national origins, weight, family status, sexual orientation, etc. None. Never. Ever.

Responsibilities

The first priority is providing excellent health care for our patients. That means that the patients should achieve good outcomes and be happy with their experience of therapy. The therapist's key tasks are:

Evaluating new patients, developing plans of care and setting measurable, functional goals
Treating patients, answering their concerns and educating them on their injury, progress and probable outcomes Supervising aides when they are providing modalities for non-Medicare, non-BCBSM patients, and also in their general set up and clean up duties
Re-evaluating patient progress, revising plans of care and resetting goals
Determining when to discharge patients

Writing timely and accurate documentation including; evaluations, re-evaluations discharges and daily progress notes. Key points include:

Ability to work with electronic medical records systems
Understanding of Medicare, BCBSM and other insurance billing regulations so that we bill correctly for the treatment actually provided
Completing documentation within company standard timelines ie within 72 hours of treatment

Achieving a reasonable level of productivity. This depends on the number of referrals and the type of patient presenting. However, with our normal outpatient orthopedic population, we expect 55 to 60 treatments plus evaluations a week from a full time therapist

Helping to develop protocols for the most common diagnoses we see
Participating in the research studies supported by the clinic
Responsible for continuing to develop their own skills by attending company continuing education events and using the continuing education allowance to attend approved courses
Must be committed to Team's initiative of making DEI a priority - bringing a sense of belonging and empowerment within a diverse workforce
