Rehab professionals labeled as “independent contractors”, “consultants”, “freelancers”, “self-employed” or even “business owners” often are neither. Being (or attempting to be) self-employed can be both a dream and a nightmare holding many risks and many rewards. Many times beginning independent contractors are completely isolated, throwing themselves into their market to “sink or swim” without any sense of consequence or liability due to lack of industry training. This course is written to help professionals navigate through the risks and improve their performance so they can enjoy the many rewards of operating as a self-employed healthcare free agent.

Many self-employed rehab professionals and the clients they service get into trouble and suffer the costly consequences of failing to operate in a businesslike manner.  Knowing self-employment law and taxes and how to establish rates, obtain clients, invoice and collect for services rendered are challenging for anyone lacking the proper training and know how.

Working for yourself is exciting and rewarding but you need to make sure you are doing it right. This course is written for those wondering what rates to charge, rather to incorporate or not, how to get medical, dental, liability and/or other insurances and how to ensure they get paid what is owed to them in a timely manner.
