COMMON QUESTIONS

What is Performance Physical Therapy?

Performance physical therapy is a hybrid training model which allows us to treat you as a whole person in any way you need. We are cash based which eliminates insurance restrictions on the amount or type of care you may require. This allows us to take a holistic approach in our treatment methods. No matter what sports or hobbies you enjoy, we can tailor our treatment specific to your needs.

Through our performance PT model we will get you out of pain and help you stay that way long term. 

Why choose Revive?

You will not find another clinic that provides the level of care, 1 on 1, with one hour sessions and your goals at the epicenter. Our goal is to give you the confidence to reach your own goals, with us there to facilitate that in any way we can.

What will a session look like?

At a traditional based clinic, a physical therapy session may include a few minutes with the PT, some exercises with support staff and some passive modalities. 

At Revive your session will be spent actually addressing your root problem and helping to fix it through exercise, education and manual techniques.

We do not waste your valuable time and focus our energy on making lasting change toward fixing your problems, not just temporary fixes.

Can I do injury prevention or wellness sessions?

Most insurances do not cover musculoskeletal wellness or injury prevention sessions performed by physical therapists. However those services are so incredibly important.

At Revive we are an active group who love being outdoors and as a whole have played almost every sport out there and understand your passion for them. It is much less expensive to prevent an injury through proper mobility and training than rehab one after it occurs. We offer wellness, maintenance and injury prevention to keep you happy, healthy and moving. 

Does Revive accept health insurance?

No, Revive is out of network with all health insurances. You can still use your out of network benefits to submit a claim to your insurance and they will reimburse you directly based on their rates.

What is cash based physical therapy?

In a cash based treatment model, the patient pays at the time of service allowing the therapist to focus all their attention on providing the best service and minimizing time spent on insurance reimbursement.

This also allows you, as the patient to know exactly what the treatment will cost you without any blind bills months down the road. While going through insurance, the amount billed will vary based on the codes billed each session. This often results in confusing bills for the patient based on these varied rates. Cash based billing eliminates all confusion and allows for transparency in decision making for the patient.

Will I end up paying more for cash based PT?

Research says NO! Cash based PT has demonstrated it requires less sessions to meet your goals, get you out of pain and back to the activities you love compared to insurance based clinics! Twice a week for 8 weeks is not the right prescription for everyone! Of course, this will vary depending on your out of network coverage.

What is the difference between cash based and insurance based?

Cash based physical therapy has a lot of benefits over insurance based. There are less limitations on what type of services we can provide, the quantity of the services or the duration we feel you need them. This allows us to use our vast knowledge and training to give you the highest level of care in direct reference to your goals.

Revive Physical Therapists are out of network providers- what does this mean?

This just means the therapists here have not entered into a contract with individual insurance companies to receive reimbursement through their contracted rates. There are SO many insurance companies with varied rates and policies and regulations- Revive’s energy is best spent on providing elite level care.

You pay us directly out of pocket and you can then submit a claim yourself to your insurance. We will help to instruct you in this process, but by taking us out of the reimbursement equation it gives us the time to provide you with the highest level of care possible.

Can my insurance be billed for cash based PT?

Revive does not accept or bill through insurance. However most insurances with the exception of medicare, Medicaid and some HMO’s, will provide some payment for services received “out of network”.

Therefore you can submit your sessions at Revive to your insurance company and they will reimburse you directly at their out of network physical therapy rates. The end goal of documentation and billing is the same however, to get paid in this system, it is the patient waiting for reimbursement instead of the provider.

What makes us different than other cash based places?

The Revive team is like no other. We are all motivated to help each client reach their specific goals. We will provide a program designed for you with mobility work and exercises to meet your needs. We are also accessible to help you navigate any bumps in the road along the way.

We thrive on your success and helping to empower you to be the best version of yourself.

Why would I choose to pay out of pocket when I can use my insurance at another clinic?

Cash based physical therapy has actually been shown by research to cost the patient less versus going through insurance. We provide only one-on-one treatment sessions for 60-minutes each visit. These one-on-one treatments may include dry needling, cupping, joint mobilizations and other manual techniques with the entirety of the session involving a hands on approach.

Many other clinics have their physical therapists seeing 4-5 patients per hour, vastly limiting any hands-on time. The sessions may be spent with a rehab aide training you on how to perform the same cookie-cutter exercises with no individualization and minimal results. They will try and book you 2-3 times per week for 8-10 weeks and still have lower patient satisfaction rates and worse outcomes toward pain relief and functional activity tolerance.

Revive will require less overall sessions to meet your goals than traditional insurance PT because of the increased time spent on your care. Come experience what physical therapy is really like with individualized, genuine, one-on-one care of a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

THE BOTTOM LINE

The first words I usually hear when I tell someone I am a cash based PT are “that sounds expensive” or “why would anyone pay for that?” But guess what- it really isn’t more expensive, and your health is worth it. You pay out of pocket and you get an individualized program from a committed PT in return. Ultimately this is an affordable and effective way to get you back to doing what you love. 

We invest in ourselves monetarily all the time- paying the extra buck for the organic or healthy food over the junk food, or the gym membership- and that’s great because your health is the best investment you can make. So come on over to Revive and let us help empower you in that process and get you feeling your best.
