Free Occupational Therapist
Service Agreement
One botched patient transfer or a 'slip and fall' under your watch will have lawyers stripping your bank account to the bedrock. If you aren't locked down with a signed contract, you're just a walking target for a malpractice suit that'll end your career.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a strict 'Limitation of Liability' clause to cap your financial exposure so a single mistake doesn't cost you your house.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Occupational Therapist, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when the family starts demanding 'quick' updates and extra phone calls every night?
You stop working for free and point them to your 'Communication Policy' clause; if it's not a scheduled session, it's a billable consultation fee clearly defined in your agreement.
How do I handle it when a facility tries to shove three extra patients onto my daily schedule?
You pull out the 'Scope of Work' section and show them the maximum caseload cap you both signed, then tell them extra heads mean a signed change order and a higher rate.
Iām getting stiffed on equipment costs I paid for out of pocket; how do I fix this?
Never buy gear on your own dime without a 'Reimbursable Expenses' clause that mandates client pre-payment or 72-hour reimbursement, otherwise you're just a 0% interest loan for the client.
