INSURANCE INFORMATION:

Private Insurance: Coverage of physical therapy is included in most insurance policies, however, deductibles, percentages and co-pays vary. As the insured is ultimately responsible for payment, you should check your specific policy for coverage details. We will do our best to help you determine your level of coverage. We will gladly bill your primary insurance company.

Workers’ Compensation: Before initiating physical therapy, we must obtain specific claim information including your claim number, date of injury, claim manager contact information, etc. If your claim in pending or deferred, be aware that payment could become your personal responsibility if the claim is denied. Once therapy begins, it is extremely important that you follow through with your physical therapy program. Failure to comply with your program may mean a suspension of or cancellation of your benefits by the insurance provider.

Medicare: Our office accepts Medicare Assignment which means our clinic will accept the Medicare approved charge as the full charge for covered services. Medicare will then pay 80% of the approved charge. The beneficiary or their Medicare Supplement is responsible only for the 20% Medicare does not pay plus any unmet deductible. Our clinic bills Medicare directly. You must have a referral from your doctor for physical therapy.
