It doesn't cost them anything either does it? You get paid by the session right? So whether it take 5 minute or 5 hours for the paperwork it is all the same to the company.

So your company gets nothing? No referral fee, no hours for that SLP visit, no check box for a medical code that gets them paid. The owner of your agency doesn't have a medical device company on the side or an investment in one?
If nothing else they have a happy client that got a free iPad.

Isn't it her responsibility to be sure you do it right? All kidding aside I was under the impression that a SLP does the initial client visit, sets a treatment plan, and then hands it off to a SLPA to do the real work.
