Why Clients Happily Pay Out of Pocket to Receive a Higher Level of Care

Let’s face it, healthcare in America has its challenges. When it comes to physical therapy, in traditional clinics, insurance companies dictate the number of visits allowed for a particular condition. In that setting, your insurance coverage is shut off, sometimes long before a condition is fully addressed, which can lead to long-term problems. An unresolved condition that started as an acute issue can quickly become a chronic one.

Why should you settle for the course of treatment and the number of visits being limited by a nameless individual who has not personally evaluated you or your condition?

There’s a better way! For top-notch care, it’s time to go ‘out of network.’

Concierge physical therapy is a cash based healthcare model which is not reliant upon insurance. It removes limitations imposed by insurance companies and frees the physical therapist to treat a client fully and appropriately (sometimes with a combination of therapies not available in traditional practices). At Custom Fit Physical Therapy, YOU are the focus of care, and you’ll receive the kind of one-on-one care that leads to game-changing outcomes.

I’ve found that clients are more than happy to pay out of pocket to receive customized care and achieve total body wellness and pain resolution without the need for invasive treatments, surgeries, prescriptions, or multiple visits to the Doctor.

Many clients seek my care after unsuccessful treatment in traditional physical therapy settings or to avoid surgery. You deserve to live your best life without being impacted by debilitating and chronic pain.

When You Visit a Traditional Physical Therapy Clinic…

Since insurance companies are decreasing reimbursement rates, traditional physical therapy clinics, reliant upon reimbursement, must see multiple patients per hour to stay afloat. And that has a direct impact on patients and outcomes.

If you’ve never gone to physical therapy, here’s a sampling of what a traditional physical therapy experience can look like:

Why Concierge Physical Therapy is Considered the Gold Standard in Care

Though many have yet to discover it, Concierge physical therapy is an increasingly popular option available in the U.S. and abroad. It offers an unrivaled level of care unavailable in traditional practices. You have one body and one life, and you deserve the highest level of care available, including:

Concierge physical therapy is an alternative practice model mutually beneficial to the clinician and client. It meets the client demand for high-quality, client-centered, exceptional care, and it’s no surprise that this healthcare model is trending.

Ultimately, having to pay out of pocket becomes a nonissue. Clients who choose concierge physical therapy become clear on the benefits rather quickly, and I often hear, “I only wish I had found you sooner.” For many, it’s the first time they’ve felt seen and heard in a medical setting.

An Opportunity for a Better Healing Journey

As a physical therapist with over twenty-eight years’ experience, I’ve witnessed and experienced the limitations while working in traditional physical therapy clinics and knew there had to be a better way. The rushed pace, lack of continuity, and passing off patients to technicians were not in the best interest of patients and left me feeling disconnected and dissatisfied.

Overcome with a desire to offer the kind of care that clients deserve: no rushing, consistent, and personalized care, thorough treatment planning, and being invested in helping them achieve their wellness goals, I set about reimagining a better way forward.

Custom Fit Physical Therapy was founded with quality client care as the cornerstone and a mission of providing the level of care that clients seek and treasure. The difference between traditional physical therapy and concierge physical therapy is vast. Time and again, I’ve seen what concierge-level care can mean to client outcomes, and I’m excited to provide optimal care and a holistic approach to wellness.

As a concierge PT, I can do precisely what is best for my clients and no less (rather than being limited or dictated to by an insurance company). Instead of spending untold hours on insurance documentation, I devote that time to patient care. The pay out of pocket, out of network option gives clients a choice to receive the care that is best suited to their needs.
