FAQs

At Triumph Physical Therapy & Dry Needling it is our belief that limitations in your insurance should not lead to limitations in your care. Our cash-based, fee for service practice is out of network with all insurances which puts an emphasis on individualized, holistic wellness without the parameters that are determined by what insurance does or does not cover.  If your insurance provides reimbursement for out-of-network physical therapy services, please let me know. Upon your request, I will provide you with a receipt that you may submit for the reimbursement.
This structure benefits you because it allows all therapy sessions to be one-on-one and without a doctors referral. Traditionally, insurance driven PT clinics require modifications to your regimen in order to maximize insurance reimbursement. For example, the therapist treats multiple patient’s at once, requires more therapy visits, offers shorter therapy sessions, and/or generalizes treatment; this ultimately costs you more time and more money (deductibles, copays, and co-insurance). The fee-for-service structure prevents all of these modifications, saves you time (less visits needed to get better), and for most people, will actually cost less than the average round of insurance-based PT.

If you choose to take advantage of our fee-for-service option (which is not covered by insurance), you do NOT need a doctor's referral. 

Fee-for-service physical therapy is focused on one thing: patient care. The traditional insurance-based structure requires treatment modification in order to maximize insurance reimbursement. For example, the therapist may treat multiple patients at once, require more therapy visits, offer shorter therapy sessions, and/or generalize treatment. Ultimately, this costs you more time and more money (deductibles, copays, and co-insurance).

The fee-for-service structure, on the other hand, allows the physical therapist to craft a treatment plan that is most effective for you — without having to work around insurance coverage and doctor's referrals. In the end, this more personalized plan will likely save you time and money when compared to the average round of insurance-based PT, as it will take fewer sessions to treat your injuries.
