FAQ

We accept most major insurances. We strongly recommend that you contact your insurance company and ask about Physical Therapy benefits prior to your initial visit. You will be responsible for copay and remaining deductible at the time of service. We will inform you of any payments prior to your initial evaluation. We accept cash, credit/debit, and flex spending cards. We DO NOT accept checks.

You will feel some discomfort and soreness during and after some treatment sessions. The discomfort and soreness are exacerbated particularly with acute injuries and post-surgery. Physical Therapy specializes in assisting with recovery from injuries, so therefore, initially, you will feel distressed in areas more affected.

The goal is to assist you with managing the pain over time using exercise, stretching, positioning, ice, or heat. We strongly recommend however that you continue to take your pain medications as recommended by your doctor.

The physical therapist will discuss the frequency with you after the initial evaluation. Most sessions last between 30-60 minutes, with a frequency of 2-3 times a week.

Alabama law states you may attend one PT visit for an initial evaluation. However, you will require a referral for future visits. A referral can come from your doctor, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, dentist, or chiropractor. You will not require a referral for wellness visits.

PT initial evaluation (60 min): 100.00

All follow-up visits (30-60 min): 50.00

Please let us know if you have concerns about paying for your visit. We will work with you so that you can get the treatment you need.

For you to receive the full time allotted for your PT session that helps you see improvement, we rely on you to show up to your appointments on time. We ask that you please reschedule or cancel at least 24 hours ahead of your appointment to avoid being charged 50.00 for your session.

After three cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, we reserve the right to discharge you as a patient of our clinic. We understand that sometimes emergencies pop up, so we discuss issues such as this on a case-by-case basis.

We will request your insurance information and verify your benefits so that you will know what to expect in terms of out-of-pocket costs prior to your arrival.

We will send a link to fill out your intake online paperwork prior to your visit. This will help reduce your time in the office at the first session.

We request that you arrive 15-20 minutes prior to your session to ensure that you get the full time allotted for your session. If you arrive late, this may shorten your visit due to other patient appointments.

We will review your history, goals, and concerns. We will conduct an objective exam where we may assess your posture, strength, range of motion, joint mobility, overall movement patterns, gait mobility, etc. We will provide a treatment and send you home with a home exercise program to do prior to your next session.

Each patient is different, however, after you inform us of your goals, we will work towards meeting those goals within a certain timeframe.

As we believe that the provider should be held accountable for ensuring that the patient receives the best care possible to meet these goals, we also believe that the patient’s improvement is also based on them being compliant with attending visits and doing their home exercises as prescribed by the PT.
