You are permitted to offer a promotional rate to clients; however, it is important to avoid potential risks. These risks may include an offer that promotes unnecessary treatment, unduly influences a client’s decision to receive treatment, or acts as a barrier once the promotional rate ends. It is not permitted to offer a discount for prompt payment, such as an early bird rate.
Discussing practice about promotional fees and packages is part of informed consent and any variance to the usual fee schedule should be documented.
