Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting over other clinics?
We believe we are able to offer a unique service, producing superior results compared to clinics who are bound by restrictions created from insurance company’s payment models. While others treatment plans and intervention selections are influenced by insurance rules and how much reimbursement they will receive, when choosing Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting, you receive care based on your needs and goals. You can expect consistent, high quality, 1-on1 treatment with your doctor of physical therapy, unmatched by clinics who "bounce" you from various techs and assistants day to day.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no required number of visits. Each patient’s treatment plan will be developed on a case-by-case basis. We provide our professional input, but ultimately you dictate how many times you would like to utilize our services. For example, we have patients who elect to participate in longer term plans such as 1-2 treatments/week for several weeks-months following some surgeries, while others only require 1-2 total visits for injury assessments/diagnosis.
Do I need to have an injury or a medical condition to be seen?
Short answer, no. If your body doesn’t seem to be functioning at its optimal level, we can help. Does your golf swing feel restricted and lacking power? Do you seek guidance with setting up an exercise plan? With our concierge model, we are able to address it. Of course, traditional treatment for injury, pain, and medical conditions is offered as well.
Do I need a referral?
Referrals are accepted but not required.
Do you take insurance?
Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting does accept Medicare Part B. Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting is otherwise a patient pay, cash-based practice, not directly networking with private insurance providers. Our patients are seen for a flat-rate per visit. After visits are completed, patients are offered an invoice which they may submit to their insurance for out-of-network benefits, often receiving reimbursement or application toward deductible for completed services.
Will treatments at Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting cost more than other clinics?
If you have Medicare Part B coverage, your cost is no different than at any other physical therapy clinic. If you have a private insurer, although we are out of network providers, you may find minimal total cost differences. In fact, many patients seen by Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting pay less for their total treatment than they would at other popular clinics. Many hospital owned clinics accepting insurance charge $400(+) per interaction before insurance submission, whereas Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting charges a fraction of that upfront. Typically, patients of Parsons Physical Therapy & Consulting do not require as many visits either.
