Does insurance cover physical therapy services?
Most insurance plans, including Medicare, workers’ compensation, and private insurers, pay for physical therapy services that are medically necessary and that are provided by or under the direction/supervision of a physical therapist.
What if your physical therapist doesn’t participate in your insurance plan?
Most insurance companies, with the exception of Medicare and many HMOs, allow members to go out-of-network for health care services. Going out of network means that you can choose to see a physical therapist who is not a participating provider with your insurance company. In most cases, the amount paid by the insurance company will be less, and you will be responsible for paying the difference between what the physical therapist charges and what the insurance company pays. Many patients choose to receive services out of network in order to see the physical therapist of their choice.
What if you don’t have insurance?
If you don’t have health insurance that covers physical therapy services, you can still receive services from a physical therapist by paying for the services directly. Battle Ground Physical Therapy is proud to announce that we offer a 30% discount for our cash paying patients.
