Payment Options.
PT on the Go is a Mobile and Private service.

Mobile Service Fee is charged for each visit based on mileage from the business office location. This fee is separate from skilled physical therapy services for both private and insurance plans. This service fee cannot be billed to insurance.
Clients report that they spend less time and money for gas and transportation than if they went to therapy in a clinic setting. The consent for care and treatment is the agreement to this policy.

Insurance.
PT on the Go does not verify primary or secondary insurance coverage, account status, copays, limitations, or deductible. The patient is responsible for confirming coverage by calling the number on the back of your card.
Prior to evaluation, you may share your insurance information for primary and secondary coverage. We will bill accordingly.
The remaining balance is the patient’s responsibility.
Medicare plans are billed based on the providers agreement as a Medicare Provider. PT on the go does not bill out of network plans.
PT on the Go may change the status of being in or out of network at a later date, any changes will be posted on this website and current patients given notice as needed.
PT on the Go may be considered out of network for secondary insurance, will provide out-patient therapy in the Home Service Location. Secondary insurance coverage is fully based on each patients agreement and plan.
Medicare patients may private/cash-pay for fees and services not eligible for MC coverage. All eligible services must be billed to Medicare.
Out of network patients for all other insurances pay private therapy rates and will be given a detailed invoice to submit to their insurance for possible reimbursement.
Insurance Patients are responsible for paying the appropriate co-insurance, co-payment, and/or deductible portion for each visit. This is an agreement between the patient and the insurance plan and is separate from the Private Service Fee. Insurance coverage is never a guarantee of payment. The current status of paid out money may not be accurate at the time of service, and the patient may receive a bill at a later date.
All Copays will be collected at the time of service, the insurance company will determine if the patient is eligible for any reimbursement. If the patient has not alerted the provided of any known copays, they may be billed at a later date.
Patients will be billed the remaining of amount billed based on the plan benefits.
Failure to pay medical bills will be submitted to a collection agency and reported to your insurance company(ies).
A referral from a physician, APRN, or PA is required to bill Medicare insurance.
PT on the Go uses a third party billing service who will send a bill after the billing processes commence. The amount billed to insurance may be higher than the cash-based service rate. (* this is a bonus to those paying upfront for cash-based PT services!)
PT on the Go may change the status of being in or out of network at a later date, any changes will be posted on this website and current patients given notice as needed.
Physical Therapy Direct Access.
You are not required to first seek a referral before PT evaluation.
After evaluation and treatment, a PT may consult with your primary care physician and refer back as medically appropriate.
When using Medicare Insurance plans you will be required to receive physician referral to continue treatment. You may request a referral from your PCP or specialist, or ask PT on the Go help you in this request.
Physical Therapy can be private,
highly skilled, and customized!
Why is private payment a good investment for Physical Therapy?
Just as you would commit to a gym membership, appointments with a chiropractor, healing with an acupuncturist, or regular massage therapy treatments, you may also work with a Physical Therapist to gain mobility, strength, pain relief, and balance.
A busy PT clinic may limit your visit time to under 60 minutes, treat several patients at a time, or have your spend your valuable time on a bike, heating pad, or with an entry level technician.
Patients frequently discharge with a home exercise program and either does not continue independently, has a continued risk of fall, or has plateaued in progress.
Your insurance plan may max out each year, or deny treatments, as well as require a high Specialty Care Copayment and Annual Deductibles.
It is important to manage your health beyond the limitations of an insurance plan and a busy therapy system.
Imagine the progress you will make with one-on-one extended skilled time with a licensed therapist.
