How Coverage Works

What Insurance-Based Physical Therapy Actually Costs

Three things determine what you pay, and we sort out all of them before your first visit:

Your plan's copay

Most patients pay only their plan's standard copay per visit, if there is one. We tell you the exact amount before you come in.

Your deductible

If your plan has a deductible, we tell you where you stand and what a visit costs until it is met. No surprises after the fact.

Visit limits and referrals

Some plans cap visits or want a referral after a point. We track this for you and handle the paperwork with your doctor when needed.

Medicare & Medicaid

Yes, We Really Do Take Medicare and Medicaid

Finding physical therapy that genuinely accepts Medicare and Medicaid in NYC can be frustrating. We are in-network with both, along with managed plans like Healthfirst, Fidelis, MetroPlus, and Emblem, and we treat patients on these plans every day at all of our clinics.

The booking process is the same: share your details, we verify your benefits, and our team calls you back with your coverage confirmed and an appointment time, usually within one business day.

How It Works

What Happens After You Book

STEP 01

We call you back

A team member confirms your details, verifies your insurance, and finds a time that works, often the same week.

STEP 02

Hands-on evaluation

A licensed physical therapist assesses your movement, strength, and history to find the cause, not just the symptom.

STEP 03

Your personal plan

You leave your first visit knowing what is going on and exactly what your treatment plan looks like.

STEP 04

One-on-one care

You work with your therapist visit after visit, with progress you can see and measure.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I do not know my plan details?

That is fine. Share whatever you have, even just the insurer's name, and our team looks up your benefits and calls you back with the answer. Have your member ID handy if possible; it speeds things up.

What if my plan is not on your list?

Ask anyway. The list on this page is not exhaustive, and plans change. We check your exact policy and tell you honestly whether we are in-network and what your options are if we are not.

Do I need a doctor's referral to start?

In most cases, no. New York's Direct Access law lets you begin physical therapy without a physician referral for up to 10 visits or 30 days. We confirm the details for your specific insurance plan when you book.

Do you accept my insurance?

We are in-network with most major insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, workers' compensation, and no-fault. Share your details and we verify your coverage before your first visit.

How much does physical therapy cost?

For most patients, care is covered by insurance and you pay only your plan's copay, if any. We verify your benefits before your first visit and tell you exactly what to expect, with no surprise bills.

What happens at my first appointment?

Your therapist performs a full hands-on evaluation of your movement, strength, and history, explains what is going on, and walks you through a personalized treatment plan. Bring your insurance card and comfortable clothing.

How long is each visit, and how many will I need?

Most visits run 40 to 60 minutes. The number of visits depends on your condition and goals; your therapist gives you a clear plan and timeline at your evaluation and updates it as you progress.
