Billing
Who pays for the treatment?
In most cases, health insurance will cover your treatment. Be sure to talk to our Receptionists so we can help clarify your insurance coverage.
Can I go to any Physical Therapy clinic?
In most cases, you have the right to choose any Physical Therapy clinic. Our practice is a provider for wide variety of insurance plans. The best thing to do is give us a call and we will attempt to answer all of your questions.
Billing for Physical Therapy services is similar to billing at a doctor’s office. When you are seen for treatment, the following occurs:
- The Physical Therapist bills your insurance company, Workers’ Compensation carrier, or charges as a self-pay based on Common Procedure Terminology codes.
- Those codes are transferred to a billing form that is either mailed or electronically communicated to the insurer, or payer.
- The Payer processes this information and makes payments according to an agreed upon fee schedule.
- An Explanation of Benefits (EOB) is generated and sent to the patient and the Physical Therapy clinic, with a check for payment and a balance due by the patient. Sometimes payment is made by electronic transfer.
- The patient is expected to make the payment on the balance (if any).
It is important to understand that there are many small steps within the process. At any time along the way, information may be missing, misscommunicated, or misunderstood. This can delay the payment process. While it is common for the payment process to be completed in 60 days or less, it is not uncommon for the Physical Therapy clinic to receive payment as long as six months after the treatment date.
