FAQ

DO WE ACCEPT MEDICARE?

Yes, we are a Medicare provider. Medicare covers 80% of physical and occupational therapy services. The remaining 20% is the patient's responsibility unless you have a supplemental insurance. As a courtesy we bill all secondary insurances. Currently there is a Medicare cap in place for outpatient therapy services.

DO WE ACCEPT PRIVATE INSURANCE?

We will accept any insurance and bill as a courtesy to our patients. We participate with most health insurance plans; however it is very important to call for benefits prior to attending therapy to ensure that services will be covered. We will call to verify your benefits for you.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT MY INSURANCE WILL COVER?

As a courtesy to our patients we will call to verify your benefits for therapy services. Please remember that a verification of benefits IS NOT a guarantee of payment. We are often quoted incorrect information and can only relay what we are told by your insurance company. It is always a good idea for you to call to verify this information.

DO I NEED A PRESCRIPTION OR REFERRAL FROM MY DOCTOR?

There are many scenarios in which you may not need to have a prescription or referral from your doctor to receive physical therapy. Call us today, and we will help you confirm this information prior to starting treatment.
