1. Do I need a referral from my physician to participate in therapy?

In the state of FL, patients may be treated by a licensed therapist WITHOUT a referral for up to 30 days. If you are being treated for longer than 30 days, you must obtain a referral.

However, if you are being treated through Medicare, a referral IS required prior to starting therapy per Medicare guidelines.

PT/OT referrals may be written by an MD, DO, Podiatrist, Chiropractor, or PA.

2. What are the benefits of mobile therapy?

Mobile physical therapy offers numerous benefits, including convenience, personalized attention, and reduced travel time. By receiving therapy in your own space, you can feel more comfortable and relaxed, leading to better treatment outcomes. Additionally, mobile therapy allows for more flexible scheduling options to accommodate your busy lifestyle.

3. How many therapy sessions does my insurance allow?

Medicare provides coverage for "reasonable and necessary" services, therefore it really depends on your individual needs, your dedication level to exercising on your own outside of therapy sessions, and your individual progression. Some individuals may have some additional out of pocket costs depending on the extent of their goals.

There are some limitations with Medicare coverage and they will not cover higher-level goals such as improving golf or tennis performance.

4. How many times per week will I need therapy?

This is very individualized and depends on whether you are injured and the severity of your injury, your own dedication to exercise outside of therapy sessions, your knowledge level, how much assistance you require to complete exercises etc. Your therapist will discuss this with you at the time of your initial evaluation.

In most cases, twice a week is recommended initially as evidence shows that at least two exercise sessions at appropriate intensity are need weekly to show functional improvements.

5. Why don't you accept most insurances?

Unfortunately, the majority of insurances do not provide adequate reimbursement to allow therapists to provide high-quality one-on-one sessions. Insurances also have limitations regarding number of visits, which services are covered and the number of body parts that can be addressed at one time.

Additionally, many insurances have high deductibles, co-pays and/or co-insurances that are out-of-pocket costs to the patient. You will end up paying these out-of-pocket costs anyways only to end up being treated by a therapist who is juggling 1-2 other patients at the same time and cannot give you their full attention or effort.

Accepting private payment allows us to act in your best interest without the restrictions of the insurance company. Additionally, we can provide you with a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for at least partial reimbursement for the cost of your sessions.

6. What should I expect during my first mobile therapy session?

We encourage you to ask questions and share any concerns to ensure a collaborative and effective therapy experience
