For many practices, the answer is expanding into Industrial Therapy. And one of the easiest ways to begin is through KEY’s standardized Assessment programs.

Industrial Therapy shifts the reactive relationship of waiting for referrals to proactively partnering directly with Employers. Instead of relying so heavily on traditional insurance reimbursement, generate revenue by providing services that help businesses cut injury rates, hire safely, and return Employees to work efficiently.

KEY Pre and Post-Hire Assessments can be performed either in your clinic or at Employers’ worksites. These typically require only 30 to 40 minutes and are commonly reimbursed between $200 and $300 per Assessment.

KEY Return-to-Work Functional Capacity Assessments offer an even greater opportunity. These comprehensive Assessments take about four hours and are reimbursed between $1,200 and $3,000. Best of all, these services can be administered by PTs, PTAs, OTs, OTAs, Athletic Trainers, Exercise Physiologists, and Kinesiologists, allowing practices to utilize a broader range of clinical staff.

The benefits extend well beyond reimbursement.

KEY Assessments provide standardized testing protocols that create consistency across clinicians and multiple clinic locations. This, along with their cost-avoidance outcomes, strengthens Employer confidence and establishes your practice as a trusted occupational health resource. These relationships easily lead to providing additional rehabilitation services, injury prevention programs, ergonomic consulting, and early intervention initiatives. In addition, Employers are pleased to offer you important Employer-to-Employer introductions.

Most importantly, with Industrial Therapy you reach your community! Did you know … 50% of the adult population suffers with pain daily?! This is how you reach that population!!
Employers are actively searching for solutions to cut lost workdays, lower e-mod rates and Workers’ Compensation costs, decrease medical expenses, and improve employee health. By becoming part of the solution, your clinic gains access to an entirely new referral and revenue source while helping businesses solve meaningful problems.

Traditional outpatient therapy will always play a role. However, Industrial Therapy offers practices the opportunity to diversify revenue, reduce dependence on declining reimbursement, and build long-term partnerships that create ongoing growth.
