Outpatient Therapy Productivity Benchmarks

Productivity benchmarks vary by setting, employer, and payer mix. Use the ranges below as a reference, then calculate your own productivity using the linked tools.

Typical outpatient productivity benchmarks

Outpatient therapy productivity is often lower than SNF due to cancellations, evaluations, and non-billable tasks.

  • PT / OT: 70%–80%
  • SLP: 65%–75%

Example

If your clinic targets 75% productivity during an 8-hour day, that equals 360 billable minutes.
