There is a bookkeeper I can guarantee you that--I'm an accountant. What she does is hire the billing out to a bookkeeping service.
And you can bet she has a fat malpractice insurance premium she has to pay every few months as well.
It's easy for people who don't know anything about business to assume that they're being ripped off because the therapist charges $100 an hour. They don't understand that that $100 an hour has to cover the salaries of the support staff. And you have to have support staff or the therapist will be so busy doing her billing, typing up notes and the like that she can't see you.
If she's a good therapist, be grateful she's doing well enough to not go out of business or have to find another job. She's got advanced degrees and deserves to make a decent living.
