Insurance
Why we don’t take it, and why that actually means better value for you
The HighPoint Difference
Ways that being cash-pay helps us stand out:
-
60 minutes, or up to 90 if needed for your first session.
-
One-on-one, every time. You have my full attention. Plus, I have the time to not rush through the session, AND to spend time planning for your next one.
-
No bouncing from provider to provider and re-telling your story, or getting different input that adds confusion. You’ll be with me, every time, and we’ll work together to build your plan.
-
Because we get great objective data day 1, build a detailed plan, and have continuity with the same provider session to session, you need far fewer follow ups to each your goal.
-
You can’t bill for time spent planning or programming, so most insurance-based PTs don’t do it. They wing it, and there’s little understanding on the patient’s end of the “why” or what comes next. At HighPoint, we don’t need you to do your exercises with us for 30 minutes in order to be able to bill for it - so we can focus on using that time to plan them better, assess more, and educate more.
To break even on insurance reimbursement, most insurance-based PT clinics have to multiple patients at a time, leaving providers bouncing between treatment tables or delegating exercises to a tech. Treatment provided and timeframes spent on each also often are determined as much by billing as by the care you really need. That math doesn't work for getting you back to your sport.
By taking payment directly from the consumer rather than from an insurance company, we can give you a full hour of one-on-one care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. And, even more importantly, that hour will be with the same person every time. The result: people typically need fewer total sessions to recover, so the net cost ends up comparable to in-network care once you factor in your copays, time, and outcomes.
We can also provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan; we make no guarantees, but many patients see a meaningful chunk reimbursed.
