If your question isn\u2019t here, I\u2019m glad to talk it through on a free strategy call.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1793126076581{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Cost and Insurance<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>Will my insurance cover this?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019m an out-of-network provider and don\u2019t bill insurance directly. I can provide documentation of your visits for you to submit to your insurer, but reimbursement is determined by your plan, and I can\u2019t guarantee coverage. A quick call to your insurance company before we start can tell you what your plan may offer for out-of-network physical therapy. If you have questions, we can talk it through on your free strategy call.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Why are you out-of-network?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being out-of-network lets me give you unhurried, one-on-one care built around your goals, not around insurance limits or rushed visit times. The tradeoff is that you pay for visits directly rather than through a copay.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What does a visit cost?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ll walk you through pricing on your free strategy call so there are no surprises.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Can I use my HSA or FSA?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many HSA and FSA plans can be used for physical therapy, but eligibility varies by plan, so please check with your plan administrator.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1793126076581{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Getting Started<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>What is the free strategy call?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a friendly, no-pressure, 15-20 minute conversation. You tell me what\u2019s going on and what you\u2019d like to get back to doing, and I explain how mobile, out-of-network care works so you can decide what makes sense for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Do I need a doctor\u2019s referral?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requirements for physical therapy vary by state. We\u2019ll go over whether a referral is needed for your situation on the strategy call.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What happens at the first visit?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I start by listening: your history, what\u2019s bothering you, and what you want to be able to do again. Then I examine how you move, identify what\u2019s contributing to the problem, and we build a plan together. You\u2019ll leave knowing what\u2019s going on and what comes next.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>What should I have ready?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wear comfortable clothing you can move in, have a clear space to work, and keep any imaging reports, surgical notes, or doctor\u2019s instructions handy.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1793126076581{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Your Care<\/b><\/h3>\n<h4><b>What conditions do you treat?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I help with sports injuries, back pain, neck pain, orthopedic conditions, recovery after surgery, mobility and flexibility, posture and ergonomics, and nervous system regulation. If you don\u2019t see your situation listed, just ask.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How is this different from a traditional PT clinic?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many clinics do excellent work. The difference here is the format: one-on-one time with me, unhurried visits, and care in the comfort of your own home, built around your specific goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How long are sessions, and how many will I need?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sessions typically last around one hour.\u00a0 The number of visits depends on what you\u2019re dealing with and what you want to achieve. After your evaluation I\u2019ll give you an honest estimate, and we\u2019ll adjust as you progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Will it hurt?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical therapy shouldn\u2019t be something you dread. Building strength and mobility takes effort, and you may feel some temporary soreness, but I explain what I\u2019m doing and adjust to what you can handle. You\u2019re always part of the decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>How soon will I feel better?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every person and every injury is different, so I can\u2019t promise a timeline. What I can do is tell you what to expect in your situation and track your progress with you so you can see how you\u2019re improving.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Do you work with my doctor or surgeon?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, when it helps. If you\u2019re recovering from surgery, I follow your surgeon\u2019s guidelines, and with your permission I can share updates with your care team.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Do you work with kids, teens, and athletes?<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. I work with active people of all levels, including athletes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Can physical therapy and functional medicine work together?<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often, yes. Pain, poor sleep, and low energy can be connected, and sometimes it helps to look at the bigger picture. My functional medicine practice, PhysiTeam Health, focuses on uncovering root causes. We can talk about whether it makes sense for you on your strategy call.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator border_width=&#8221;1px&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1793126076581{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>Still have questions?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s talk it through. <\/span><b><a href=\"https:\/\/keeganmcconnell.com\/pthpt\/free-strategy-call\/\">Book a Free Strategy Call<\/a>.<\/b>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] PTH Physical Therapy: FAQ Straight answers about how PTH Physical Therapy works.
