Let us know when you will be seeing your physician so we can have a progress report ready.

Physical therapy coverage is often confusing. Although we can assist you with your insurance questions, it is strongly suggested that you contact your insurance directly to determine your coverage for outpatient physical therapy. You may be required to make deductible or co-insurance payment as part of you coverage. Customary method of billing fo physical therapy services is based on the amount and type of services you receive: Therefore, we cannot tell you exactly how much your treatments will cost. However, once we have verified you coverage, we can notify you of your approximate coverage. Please feel free to talk to our billing office regarding your insurance questions.

Patients are responsible for services not covered by insurance, including care that their insurance deems is" "Not Medically Necessary" even though a physician may have recommended the treatment.

We do accept liens on a case-by-case basis. All liens must be approved prior to treatment beginning.

Patients without insurance will be set up as "PRIVATE PAY" with payment due at the time services are rendered. Cost of the treatment will be determined at the start of your physical therapy.

Overall patients are ultimately responsible for knowing the details of their coverage (e.g. percent of coverage, deductibles, co-payments, limits on number of visits or date of coverage, your referring physician, or our status as a preferred provider, etc), which may determine the extent of your financial responsibility.
