Do I need a referral from my doctor?
In the state of Pennsylvania, you can receive skilled therapy for up to 30 days from a Direct Access Certified provider (we are) before requiring a referral from your doctor.
Do you accept Medicare?
It's illegal for physical therapists to accept cash from Medicare patients for services that Medicare may cover. This rule applies to all physical therapists, even those who aren't enrolled in Medicare.
Medicare covers outpatient physical therapy services if they're considered medically necessary to treat a disease or condition. However, Medicare won't cover services that are considered: "Prevention, Wellness, and Fitness."
If you utilize Medicare for your insurance, we'd still love to talk to you so that we can determine if you need skilled therapy, or if we can provide "prevention, wellness, and fitness" services to address your concerns. If you do require skilled therapy, we would love the opportunity to refer you to the best providers we know.
Why don't you take insurance?
In traditional outpatient physical therapy, reimbursement rates from insurance companies to physical therapy companies continue to decrease. Often, the solution to offset these decreasing reimbursement rates is to see more volume. The physical therapy profession unfortunately carries high burnout rate. Volume of patient care often contributes to burnout. Most of us get into this profession because we genuinely care about our patients and want to help them the best we can. By not interacting with insurance companies, we as therapists have more freedom to design the plan of care and make it exactly what the patient wants and needs. We are not jumping through hoops to obtain insurance authorization, we just get to treat the person in front of us. As a result, quality of care is vastly greater as there is more time to listen to the patient, determine the most appropriate solution, adapt the program, and get better results faster.
What is a Superbill?
A superbill is proof of physical therapy services provided to you.
You can then submit proof of payment to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement.
*out-of-network benefits vary by insurance plan. Please consult with your insurance company to determine your out-of-network benefits.
Can I use my HSA/FSA?
Yes!
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable workout clothing to the appointment to allow for movement or manual therapy.
If you are coming in for the lower body, it is best to have shorts available.
If you are coming in for the shoulder/neck region, we encourage women to wear a top that exposes the shoulder blade area. Gowns will also be available in order to expose spine and shoulder blade while maintaining modesty.
