Welcome to FYZICAL South Sarasota's October Newsletter!

 

Happy National Physical Therapy (PT) Month! There are many benefits of physical therapy that go far beyond the typically known scope of PT. Several of these benefits include mitigating pain, accelerating recovery time, bettering your movement and/or balance skills, decreasing your risk of falling and more. Continue reading for some tips on navigating insurance, the connection between poor vision and balance, conditions that can be treated by PT, and some delicious fall recipes.

How to navigate your insurance

Not only can physical therapy help you physically, but it may be able to help you save money in the long run! Physical therapy can be an alternative to costly surgery. At FYZICAL South Sarasota, we are happy to discuss any insurance coverage questions to help put your mind at ease. Insurance can be confusing to navigate. We've included a few common definitions of terms you'll typically see in insurance verbiage below:

 

Copayment or Copay: Fixed amount of money that a patient may have to pay before a medical service. Your copay amount will depend on your insurance company and the specific type of plan that you have. 

Deductible: Amount of money that you'll have to pay out-of-pocket, which must be covered before your insurance company contributes any money towards your medical service. Your deductible will also depend on your specific insurance company and plan. 

Coinsurance: Amount of cost that you will have to split between yourself and your insurance provider. A common coinsurance is 80/20, which means your insurance company will cover 80% of the cost of the medical service and you will have to cover the other 20% of that service. Discuss this with your insurance company because the breakdown will differ by insurance company and plan. 

 

At FYZICAL South Sarasota we will help you navigate any insurance questions to make your therapy process as stress-free as possible. Contact us today to discuss treatment plans and how we can help you save money!

 

Poor vision can increase your risk of falling

Our eyesight does not only impact how clearly we see images, but it can also impact our balance. When we have poor eyesight, we will not be able to accurately depict the physical world around us. If the visual system is providing incorrect information to the brain, your quality of life can be severely impacted. Once you redevelop those visual skills, we can then work with you on head and body movements to help further improve your balance skills. If you've been grappling with balance issues, we'd recommend getting your vision checked to ensure your sight isn't a contributing factor.
