Insurance Info & Prices:
We also take private pay.

Where do we provide services?

Will insurance pay for it? And who bills insurance?

We bill all insurance but we are only In Network with a few insurances. We are a Medicare Out-Patient Part B provider, and provide that therapy at your home. (A unique service: outpatient therapy at your home). If you have the O.T, P.T or S.T benefit in your insurance plan the insurance will pay (we can help you find out). We are not paid by Kaiser at this time.

In Network and even Home Health criteria can be met and paid for in certain circumstances, but your insurance company must first agree to put Therapy In Your Home In Network for your specific case. Please call Therapy In Your Home for information.

What information do I need from my insurance?
•what O.T, P.T or S.T your insurance covers for each Home Health and Outpatient
•what your copay is for each
•what criteria you need to qualify for each
•how many visits you are eligible for with each, over what time frame
•your deductible for the year

We bill the insurance. Or we can provide you with the information to bill the insurance yourself.

Long Term Care insurance covers our services depending on your policy. Always ask!

Our rates are comparable to out patient therapy.

Who do I pay? How much?

You will be sent a bill. You do not pay the therapist. Our costs are comparable to an outpatient clinic. If we bill insurance we will send you a bill showing what they have not paid and why (deductible, copay). If we are out of network they may send the check to you and we will bill you. In some instances you may request a special service that is not paid by the insurance, in which case we would bill you directly.

Is it covered by Medicare?

Yes, if you have straight Medicare or a Medicare P.P.O the service is covered. Call us so we can help you determine coverage. Many times when people call us we direct them to a Home Health Agency where the visit will be covered 100% by Medicare. (Do I qualify for Home Health?) We are an Out Patient Mobile Clinic, using your Medicare Part B.

How many visits will it take?

Every case is different. We give each of our clients a unique therapy plan tailored to their individual needs. Our average is 8-16 visits, many people only need 1-3 and we have about 50% of our clients who either use our services ongoing, or on-call.

How long is a visit?

A visit is generally a bit less than an hour. But we can be flexible, it depends on the needs of the client and who is paying the bill.

Do I need a prescription?

Please ask your physician to send us a prescription We can also request one from the MD ourselves. If for some reason you do not want to go through your M.D, please call us about this situation. Physical Therapy is able to provide some visits without a prescription.

What are my other options?

You can participate in out-patient therapy at a clinic; however, our in home therapy services are economically competitive with out-patient therapy, and it is provided in the comfort of your own home. On the other hand you don’t get the satisfaction of going out and being with people. You decide based on your specific needs.

There are community based programs, also, especially for specific diagnoses and problem areas.

Can you do outpatient therapy at the office?

We do not practice therapy in our office. If you have a place other than your home where you would prefer to participate in therapy, please let us know.

Our highly trained staff will design a specialized plan of care that is just right for you. Through experience, advanced clinical training and clear communication with our patients, our therapy team will give you the advantage in recovery.
