Dr. Matt has spent a lot of time, effort, and money ascending in the physiotherapy world. He knows the best current techniques and the science behind them. Working directly with clients and cutting out the insurance middleman allows him to provide the most individualized and effective treatment for each patient without an outdated and sometimes medically uneducated reviewer dictating your care.
Each patient will have Dr. Matt’s undivided attention for the entire treatment session. Without having to struggle with dropping reimbursement rates causing clinics to force multiple bookings per session, you and he are free to thoroughly investigate your complaints, get to the roots of your pains or dysfunctions, and eliminate problems at the source for lasting results.
The high level of therapy provided by Dr. Matt inevitably results in an overall decrease in average number of visits. Most Ascension Physiotherapy plans of care are between 3 and 5 visits with more complicated cases running a little longer. Many in-network clinics average between 12 and 20 visits with some running even higher! Dr. Matt typically sees his patients less frequently, as well. Instead of 2-3 times per week, he often advises 1 time a week for most cases, tapering off to once every two weeks before graduating a plan of care.
Dr. Matt takes patient care seriously and feels cost transparency is an important part of that care. Insurance considers physical therapy a “specialty visit” and many insurance plans in this area carry copays up to $110. Some are lucky to have lesser copay plans, but few are under $50 per visit. Lets do some math...
# Visits | Cost/Visit | Totals | |
Ascension PT: | 3 to 5 | x $150 | = $450 to $750 |
Regional PT: | 12 to 20 | x $110 | = $1,320 to $2,200 |
Low Copay PT: | 12 to 20 | x $50 | = $600 to $1,000 |
