Thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that you have been welcomed by our Chester County staff while feeling supported in your new role. The hours a BC/MT can expect in the summer may vary due to consumer availability. Full Time BC/MT's are required to complete a base amount of client hours in order to be considered a Full Time, salaried employee. The other option is to be employed as a Part Time BC/MT and paid hourly for the work they complete. We have shared your feedback with the management team. Thanks again

Great supervision if needed and support. Diverse clientele.

Haven't transitioned to EHR system yet. Tedious steps (paper sheet, note in client chart, and online submission) for submitting to billing at end of each day.

We are happy to hear that you are enjoying your experience as an outpatient therapist and that you feel supported. As you mentioned, we haven't made the full transition to our new EHR system yet but key people are working very diligently behind the scenes to have the system up and running this fall. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
