Michigan is a direct access state for physical therapy, which means you do not need a physician referral to start therapy. You can be treated for 10 visits or 21 days (whichever comes first) without a signed prescription. Many insurance providers still require a signed prescription, so if you intend to submit for reimbursement, I recommend calling your insurance provider for details on your policy. It is always a good idea to keep your physician informed on any physical complaints you are experiencing. 

I choose to not participate with most insurance companies so that I am able to provide the highest quality of care based your complaints, your goals and your needs--not insurance limitations. Concierge care goes beyond just your session--you will have access to email communications, exercise programs, self-care tools. Remember this is one-on-one care, never with a tech or a PTA or another PT, I want to create the most customized care for your case.

Unfortunately, insurance companies have continued to decrease reimbursement and are creating more limitations on how visits and care are utilized. They are requiring more time from providers to justify care, which takes more time away from patients. By not participating the focus can truly be based on the patient needs. 

Many policies have high deductibles, resulting in high costs for patients, who often only see the therapist for 15-30 min of one-on-one time. There can be surprise denials and surprise bills months after care. I want your costs to be as transparent as possible and to be able to focus on your goals, not what insurance will cover.
