Do you accept my insurance?
No, I am not contracted with insurances. BUT If you have a PPO and physical therapy is covered, you may be able to seek reimbursement from your insurance provider. If you wish to do so, I will send you a superbill at the end of each month. A superbill is a receipt that includes codes required by insurance companies. It will be your responsibility to submit the superbill to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I cannot guarantee that you will be reimbursed. On average, insurance providers will cover 60 -70% however, some policies are as low as 5 - 10%. Please contact your insurance directly in order to know what to expect for reimbursement.
Why don't I accept insurance anymore?
The amount physical therapists get reimbursed from insurance companies has continued to decrease. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) tends to set the trend for this reimbursement, and they are constantly threatening additional cuts. I understand the challenges facing both practitioners and patients alike. Due to the cost of living in our area, physical therapists can only sometimes afford to make life work here. This means that we have a shortage of physical therapists in our community, which can result in longer waits for your initial visit and potentially impact the frequency of your visits.
On top of that, this low reimbursement forces clinics to make financial decisions to keep their doors open, which may lead to lower quality of care, such as shorter visits and the use of accessory staff. To an extent, insurance companies also dictate the care I can deliver since they can deny reimbursement for specific procedures and cut patients off from therapy even when I can make an evidence-based argument for continued care. Insurances may also require clinicians to focus on one body region even when it's best practice to treat holistically. I decided not to accept insurance so I could have the autonomy needed to be the best I can be at what I do. Rest assured, I am here to advocate for your health and well-being and am committed to providing care with you at the center.
