About Jimmy McKay, PT

Once a rock radio DJ, now a doctor of physical therapy — Jimmy McKay launched the PT Pintcast to spotlight the voices, ideas, and bold moves shaping the future of rehab. Since then, he's interviewed hundreds of guests (and probably spilled just as many pints) in his mission to make healthcare conversations way less boring and way more useful.

Now, the PT Pintcast has been downloaded 5+ million times by listeners who want to think differently, act boldly, and grow smarter — whether they’re on the clinic floor, in class, or building their own empire.

In this episode, Aaron LeBauer—one of the leading advocates for cash-based physical therapy—shares how and why he built a thriving practice outside the insurance model.

• Why Cash Pay?
  Insurance limits patient care. Aaron started his own clinic to deliver better outcomes with fewer constraints.
• First Step for Insurance-Based Clinics:
  Start by offering one cash-pay service. Test interest and build confidence.
• Must-Have Systems:
  • Clear pricing & value messaging
  • Lead follow-up processes
  • Strong patient communication
• How to Communicate the Shift:
  Be upfront. Focus on results and quality. Offer transition options if needed.
• Marketing That Works:
  • Educational content
  • Community outreach
  • Google Ads & SEO for intent-based searches
• Challenges vs. Advantages:
  Cash pay requires educating patients, but it also brings more freedom and attracts highly motivated clients.
