1 / Why don't you take insurance?

• When PT contracts with insurance, INSURANCE dictates what they will/won't pay for in your care. THEY decide how much and what kind of care I'm allowed to provide you with. 

• Cash-based PT allows you to know your investment up front with no surprise bills months later. I am able to tailor treatments and frequencies to your specific needs and goals improving your experience and overall efficiency of care.

2 / What are your rates?

• Rates are dependent upon location (in-home vs a designated treatment space) and the type of service provided (i.e. evaluation, treatment session, wellness service)​

• A travel fee  ($0.70/mile) may be included if meeting outside of McPherson County.

• ​ I do accept HSA/FSA (check with your provider for eligibility), cash, check, debit/credit cards at time of service.​

• Superbills can be provided upon request.​

• Contracting rates for providers are also available upon request

3 / So what's a superbill?

• While I don’t bill insurance directly, many choose to request superbills which can be submitted to insurance for possible reimbursement for PT services.

• Please understand, insurance dictates reimbursement rates, not Little Way PT so I highly encourage you to call your insurance ahead of time and ask:

• “Do I have out-of-network benefits for physical therapy?”

• “What is my OON deductible and co-insurance rate?”

• “Do I need a referral or pre-authorization?”

• “What is the allowed amount for CPT codes like 97162, 97110 and 97140?”

• In many cases the cost for participating in cash-based PT is less than utilizing your insurance. This is largely due to being able to charge less per visit than the national average.

4 / What can I expect from a home visit?

• As your mobile therapist, I bring the clinic to you. No need to clean up or dress up. Stay as you are.  All I ask is you set aside a towel, pillow and sheet for internal exams if we determine there is a need.

• Your first visit will largely include a review of your medical history, a functional/movement exam, and possibly an internal exam to assess your pelvic floor muscles specifically.

• We will discuss any expectations and goals you have as well as provide some initial education and practical exercise prescription for you to start working on between visits.

5 / What's your cancellation policy?

• I ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance may be subject to a cancellation fee of 50% of the original session rate. Missed appointments without notice (no-show) may be charged 100% of the service fee. 

• This policy helps respect not only my time, but also that of other clients who may benefit from that time slot. 

6 / What if  I can't meet in person?

• I require your first visit to be in person in order to fully understand and appreciate your unique physical characteristics, functional capacity/tendencies and support/environment.

• Follow-up visits, while in-person is always ideal, can be modified to a tele-health option quite successfully.

• No matter what your availability - I want to be able to help you reach your goals.

7 / Do I need my doctor to write a referral?

• No, Kansas is a direct access state, meaning a physician referral is not required to receive physical therapy services.

8 / Do I need childcare for my appointment?

• Nope! The beauty of in-home visits is that you and your kids can be comfortable in your own space. We can work around nap schedules and the expected interruptions that might arise. I also always welcome any chance to snuggle a baby!

• Should you feel that your situation would benefit from having a spouse, significant other, family member or friend help to attend to your children while we meet, that is always okay.

9 / What if I want to work with you, but just not in my home?

• No problem! I've designated alternate treatment locations to accomodate as needed. Let me know of your preference when completing your new patient paperwork or when coordinating for follow-up sessions.

• My goal is always to make your access to therapy as convenient as possible.
