We are happy to work with you to help understand this complex system and will bill your insurance for you when possible.If you are covered by Medicare, you will need need to have a Primary Medical Physician to oversee your Physical Therapy care.
Forms
Effective January 1, 2006, a financial limitation (therapy cap) was placed on outpatient rehabilitation services received by Medicare beneficiaries. These limits apply to outpatient Part B therapy services from all settings except the outpatient hospital clinics. The cap imposed by Congress for Physical and Speech Therapy (combined) per calendar year is $1,960. If you have had either of these services in an outpatient facility, please contact Medicare to find out how much of your $1,960 remains for this calendar year.Determine the following from your insurance plan:1. Do I have a co-pay or co-insurance for Physical Therapy? If there is a co-pay how much is it? If there is co-insurance, what percent is it and when does it start applying?2. Do I have an Individual or Family deductible for Physical Therapy? Have my deductibles been met?3. Is there a maximum dollar amount or maximum number of visits per year for Physical Therapy?4. Is there a time limit by which completion of services provided under a specific diagnosis needs to occur?Co-Payments – Per your own plan, co-payments are per-service charges due at the time of your visit.Co-insurance – Per your own plan, co-insurance is a percentage of the allowable amount approved by your insurance plan that you will be responsible to pay. We will bill your insurance company after your visit and will bill you for the portion of the service they determine is co-insurance. We expect payment of co-insurance at the time of your next visit.Deductible – Per your own plan, the amount you are responsible to pay, before your plan begins to pay for covered services. We will bill your insurance company after your visit and will bill you for the portion of the service they determine is deductible. We expect payment of deductible at the time of your next visit. Since your insurance plan will likely pay more towards your health care services after your deductible is met, we will have to report any unpaid deducible balances to your insurance company so that they may re-apply these dollars to your amount due.
