Free Physiotherapist Timesheet Template
Physiotherapists in private practice need accurate time records to support insurance billing, NHS contract reporting, and clinical governance requirements. A timesheet documents session time, assessment and report writing, and professional development hours in a format that is easy to review and submit. It also provides the data needed to monitor caseload capacity and identify when additional administrative time is affecting clinical availability.

How does a physiotherapist fill out a timesheet?
A physiotherapist timesheet records session hours alongside assessment and report time, with the date, the activity, and the minutes spent. Note the patient or claim, whether the entry was treatment, an assessment, or a report, and the session length. Logging the full time supports billing and any insurance record needed.
Typical line items
- Date of work
- Patient or claim reference
- Activity (assessment, treatment, report, class)
- Session length
- Hours or minutes spent
- Billable or non-billable flag
- Session or hourly rate
- Running total for the period
How the work is charged
Physiotherapists usually charge per session, but logging assessment and report time shows the full effort behind a course of treatment. Group classes are often timed and billed separately from one-to-one sessions.
Payment terms and deposits
A timesheet supports an invoice rather than collecting payment itself. Many physiotherapists bill per session or per block, or to an insurer, so keep entries dated and described so they can be matched to the treatment.
Tax and compliance
If you are registered for sales tax or VAT, that applies on the invoice the timesheet supports, not the timesheet itself. Some health services are treated differently in some places, so confirm what applies to you.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to record report writing time separately on my timesheet?
Yes. Assessment reports, insurance reports, and GP correspondence take significant time and are billable professional services. Record them separately from treatment sessions with a description noting the report type and the relevant insurer or referrer, as different payors may have different billing codes for report writing.
How do I handle a session that was shorter than booked because the patient left early?
Log the actual treatment time. Most private practices charge for the full booked session if the patient leaves early without reasonable cause, but document the actual treatment duration accurately regardless of what is charged. Clear records protect you in any subsequent billing dispute.
Should I record my time differently for direct treatment versus supervised exercise sessions?
Yes. Hands-on treatment and supervised rehabilitation have different skill requirements and may be charged at different rates, particularly if you are billing an insurance company. Separating them on the timesheet supports accurate billing and clear clinical documentation.
