Benefits of self pay
I Didn’t become a Physical therapist so i could work for insurance companies. I did it to help people. so now i just work for the people.
I work for you, not your insurance company

What insurance companies do:
• Require a significant amount of paperwork from both physical therapists and patients, much of which is redundant and arbitrary. Mistakes in paperwork can result in the cost of services not being covered, leaving the patient to pick up the cost. It also results in physical therapists spending a significant amount of time justifying treatment to insurance companies instead of focusing on patient care.
• Insurance companies make you treat problems in isolation and set up different visits for different issues, causing patients to spend a significant amount of time in the clinic.
• Insurance companies dictate how you get to spend your time with patients. They will not allow you to do certain treatments in conjunction with each other for arbitrary reasons. They also reimburse companies more for certain treatments, incentivizing therapists to prioritize certain treatments over others, even if it may not be what the patient really needs

What I do:
• Patients get 100% of my time each visit
• I can spend more of my outside time evaluating information, connecting the dots, and creating an incredible game plan for EVERY visit
• I can treat multiple issues in the same visit, so you don’t have to spend your whole week going to therapy
• I can collaborate with each patient in order to create more efficient exercises and treatment options
• I charge a flat rate up front, so there are no unexpected costs
