Payment for clinical services such as physical therapy (PT) has been steadily decreasing over the last 20 years. Our cost to deliver physical therapy, on the other hand, has significantly increased. Your monthly insurance payment often provides reimbursement for physical therapy that is below our cost to deliver what we believe is expert and appropriate care.
Most physical therapy (PT) practices often spend additional money trying to get your insurance company to pay them for the service after it is delivered and approved ahead of time. As a result, clinical practice is then altered to provide the service that is reimbursed at a profit. Physical therapists are no longer able to provide the highest-skilled care because everyone is trying to make money off the transaction – and all the while, your care suffers.
