Our pricing is competitive with other facilities in this area. Your bill will depend on what we do with you during your visit. Some charges are placed one time no matter how long we spend, others are charged using the "8 minute rule" which in simple terms means a charge is placed about every 15 minutes. Therapy billing is an entire graduate study class so if you receive a bill that does not follow this simplified explanation please ask our staff to go over it with you.
Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, Railroad Medicare, Medishare, and Tricare. We can also work with your Wyoming worker's comp and other worker's comp companies.
As part of our in network contract with your insurance company we agree to offer our services to you at a discounted rate. The discounted rate depends on your insurance company but could be around 25%. We write off the difference and do not pass that charge along to you. Your bill for services is the discounted rate minus the portion your insurance pays. What your insurance pays will depend on your specific insurance plan.
Definitions are not exhaustive. A treatment can easily be classified in more than one category but you are only charged for a single category during that 15minute time frame. If you want more information on charging please ask your therapist during your visit.
We spend 15-45minutes assessing your injury or complaint, taking measurements, and determining a treatment plan. We then explain your diagnosis and prognosis and work with you to develop a plan that you are happy with.
When you have been seen in physical therapy but your condition has significantly changed: you had a new surgery, a recent hospitalization, or significant reinjury, we will reassess your condition. This will include appropriate tests and measures, changes to prognosis, and modification of the treatment plan.
We will choose specific exercises to target your weak or tight areas and with the goal of changing your pathology or the factors contributing to your pathology. This includes training within the exercise to ensure your body position is correct to target the area we want without causing injury to other areas.
This charge is used for any teaching that is done or interventions related to activities of daily living. This could include developing and training in a home exercise program, training in use of an assistive device, or teaching you about posture and workstation set up. It could also be working on navigating areas of your home or manipulating lids on jars.
This includes any hands on time with your therapist. Hands on could include soft tissue work like targeting tight musculature to reduce pain and improve joint movement, it could also be passive range of motion done after surgery.
This includes any muscle to nerve to brain retraining. When muscles need to be trained to work in a proper pattern with each other again or if we need to work on your jumping mechanics this charge would be used. Posture training and the use of rock tape can also fall into this category.
We will use this charge when we are working on correction of your walking or running mechanics. This could include learning to walk with an assistive device, teaching you to walk without limping after a surgery, or doing a running assessment and correcting your running form.
We use this charge for initial assessment and casting for custom orthotics. Generally casting is an extensive and highly skilled service and can take your therapist up to an hour to complete. This charge does include the materials used for the casting as well as shipping costs. This charge does not include the cost of the orthotic itself.
This charge is used for the fitting of the custom fabricated orthotic to your shoe, double checking for proper fit and alignment, and education in a wearing schedule.
Ultrasound is used for improving blood flow to the area being treated with the goal of decreasing healing time. It can also be used to decrease pain or to improve muscle flexibility.
Estim is used to decrease pain, reset pain sensors, and decrease inflammation. The full effect of this modality can take 24-48hours. It is a useful tool for returning to high level sport when sport specific movements increase your pain.
Heat or ice are generally used for the same reasons. These would be used to decrease pain, improve muscle extensibility, and limit soreness after an aggressive treatment session. Often times we give patients the option to use a recommended modality at home but there are times where the timing of the modality is critical to your recovery. In these situations we will recommend that you use our ice or heat to ensure you have the best outcomes.
For cash pay patients we ask that payments are made at the time of service. Treatments are 1 hour long though if you arrive late for your visit you may receive less than an hour treatment and in this situation your are not eligible for a prorated rate. We encourage cash pay patients to arrive early and warm up on equipment before your visit to maximize your treatment time.
If you are experiencing a financial hardship you may be eligible for our hardship discount or sponsorship programs, Services are offered for $50 for a 1 hour session and are either paid by you or a community member willing to sponsor you. Contact us for more information about this program.
