INSURANCE INFORMATION:

Private Insurance: Coverage of physical therapy is included in most insurance policies; however, you are expected to check your specific policy for appropriate coverage since you are responsible for payment of your account. We will gladly bill your primary insurance company.

Labor and Industries: It is your responsibility to provide us with your claim information ie: claim number, date of injury, claims manager contact info, etc. It is extremely important that you follow through with your physical therapy program. Failure to comply with your program may mean a suspension of your benefits.

Medicare: Our office accepts Medicare Assignment, which means our clinic will accept the Medicare-approved charge as the full charge for covered services. Medicare will then pay 80% of the approved charge. The beneficiary or their Medicare Supplement is responsible only for the 20% Medicare does not pay plus any unmet deductible. Our clinic bills Medicare directly. You must have a referral from your doctor for physical therapy.
