What is cash-based physical therapy?
Cash-based physical therapy means that we do not take insurance directly. If you have insurance, we can provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. In a cash-based practice, you have the flexibility for a variety of payment options, including cash, credit/debit, HSA/FSA accounts. We also partner with CareCredit, which aids in the ability for patients to start their therapy today and pay later.
​
-
Why don’t you take my insurance?
We don’t take your insurance because insurance companies try to limit the services and amount of therapy visits we can offer to you. If you have insurance, you have to pay for your therapy visits out of pocket and we are able to provide you with a Superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement. At Route 2 Recovery, you will know exactly what your cost will be without having to worry about getting random bills in the mail later on.

-
Do I need to get imaging done prior to my evaluation?
Doctors of Physical Therapy have been trained on differential diagnoses of musculoskeletal conditions and can evaluate and treat you, without the need of X-rays, MRIs or CT scans, if deemed appropriate. We take the time to review your medical, physical and social history, put all the pieces together and come up with a personalized program for you. If there are any red flags in our findings, then we will refer you out to the appropriate medical professional.

I was recently diagnosed with arthritis, what does that mean?
Being diagnosed with arthritis is a common finding. Arthritis means “inflammation in the joints”. There is no cure for arthritis but exercise is the best way to manage the symptoms. Physical therapy has helped a lot of patients with this condition.

-
Can I be treated with therapy if I have a herniated or bulging disc?
Yes, having a herniated disc may sound scary but the reality is that there may be a lot more going on with your body than just the herniated disc. It is usually not the only reason for your pain. Herniated discs have been shown to have the ability to heal, with the proper therapy. At Route 2 Recovery, we perform special tests to see how your whole body is functioning. We highly recommend you seek professional guidance from a PT that you trust so that you can be able to move freely again.
