The Lifestyle Athlete and Rehabilitation contracts with many insurance companies and we do our best to assist you in understanding your individual policy. We recommend that you call your insurance company prior to your visit. Although we will assist you if possible, it is your responsibility to know the requirements and/or limitations of Physical Therapy services and to fully understand your specific insurance policy. We are happy to work with you to help understand this complex system.

Please keep in mind that all therapists may be listed individually as participating providers with insurance companies, or may be listed under “The Lifestyle Athlete PLC”. While we encourage all patients to call their Member Benefits office to verify participation, please be sure to know the name of the therapist you will be seeing to confirm eligibility.

When calling your insurance company, we recommend asking the following questions:

1. Do I have a co-pay or co-insurance for Physical Therapy? If there is a co-pay how much is it? If there is co-insurance, what percent is it and when does it start applying?

2. Do I have an Individual or Family deductible for Physical Therapy? Have my deductibles been met?

3. Is there a maximum dollar amount or maximum number of visits per year for Physical Therapy?

4. Is there a time limit by which completion of services provided under a specific diagnosis needs to occur?

Your co-payment will be dependent on your insurance plan. Co-payments are per-service charges due at the time of your visit.

Depending on your own insurance plan, co-insurance is a percentage of the allowable amount approved that you will be responsible to pay.

We will bill your insurance company after your visit and will bill you for the portion of the service they determine is co-insurance (the remaining balance).

Your co-insurance payment of the remaining balance is due at the time of your next visit.

Depending on your insurance plan, you might be required to pay a deductible before your insurance covers physical therapy services.

We will bill your insurance company after your visit and will bill you for the portion of the service they determine is deductible.

Payment of any determined deductible amount is due at the time of your next visit.

We are required to report any unpaid deductible balances to your insurance company.

Please keep in mind that any Insurance-covered Physical, Speech, or Occupational Therapy provided to you will be determined by your yearly limitations.
