YOUR INSURANCE
Medical insurance generally covers physical therapy; however, because each insurance plan is different, you should check with your insurance company to determine your benefits. You may contact our staff who will be glad to assist you in determining your level of coverage and any out of pocket expense you will have.

As a courtesy, we will submit insurance claims on your behalf. It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate insurance coverage information to ensure your insurance company properly processes your claims.


PAYMENT
We will collect your copayment, co-insurance or deductible at the time of treatment. We accept payment via Cash, Check, Visa, Mastercard or Discover card.
