How to choose where to get Physical Therapy
Step by step
- Ask for the self-pay price per session, and whether the first evaluation visit is priced differently from later sessions.
- Ask how many sessions are typical for a situation like yours, so you can estimate the total rather than one visit.
- If the clinic is owned by a hospital, ask whether a separate hospital facility fee will be added to the professional fee.
- If your income is limited, check a federally funded community health center. Health centers offer a sliding fee discount based on your income and family size. Source: HRSA, find a health center
- If you are uninsured or paying without insurance, ask each provider for a Good Faith Estimate. Under the No Surprises Act, providers generally must give you one when you schedule at least 3 business days ahead, or when you ask. Source: CMS, medical bill rights
- Keep every estimate. If a provider or facility bills you at least $400 more than its Good Faith Estimate, you can start the federal patient-provider dispute process for a bill dated within the last 120 days. The fee is $25. Source: CMS, dispute a bill
