Do you accept insurance?
We are an out-of-network provider, meaning we are not currently partnered with any insurance companies. Upon request, we provide superbills which are itemized receipts to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. We do not guarantee reimbursement from your insurance. You can pay with your FSA/HSA account.
Unfortunately, we cannot see patients with Medicare or Medicaid, and recommend using these directories to find someone who does accept these: https://pelvicrehab.com/ & https://www.aptapelvichealth.org/ptlocator
