Please Call us to confirm your coverage We accept most health insurance. Filing insurance claims is a courtesy that we extend to our patients, though all charges are your responsibility from the date services are rendered. Your insurance is a contract between you, your employer, and the insurance company. We are not a party to that contract. Before your visit, it is your responsibility to contact your insurance company to verify that we are participants in your particular plan and that the services you intend to receive are covered. If prior authorization/referral is required by your insurance carrier, it is your responsibility to obtain this from your primary care physician. Failure to do so may result in denial of your claims and you will be held responsible for all non-covered charges. If we are "out of net work" with your insurance you may be able to file a claim with your insurance company for “out of network” reimbursement.” Please call 817 381 5177 to learn more about this option. We collect payment, co- insurance, deductible, and copays at the time of service in the form of credit card, flexible savings accounts or health savings accounts. The direct pay model eliminates this confusion and allows for clarity in decision making on the part of the patient and their provider. *specific plans please call 817 381 5177 to confirm

How do I submit a claim to my insurance company if I am out of network?The process is easier than you might think!!! If you are interested in knowing your level of “out of network” reimbursement, please call your insurance provider and ask about their coverage for “out of network physical therapy”. This is solely the responsibility of the patient. Upon request, we can provide a superbill or itemized bill with all the necessary information to submit it to your insurance. This is the sole responsibility of the patient to do so.
-
What can I expect at my first visit?A one-on-one evaluation where we will discuss your history, concerns, and symptoms. After your provider will do an initail assessment which typically includes an assessment of posture, pelvic alignment, external pelvic girdle and hip muscles and an internal pelvic floor muscle assessment to assess the muscle strength, tone and function of your pelvic floor muscles. An internal vaginal and/or rectal muscle assessment may be performed with your written and verbal permission if you are comfortable. * internal pelvic assesments are NOT performed vitually
