How Much Will It Cost?
Why Use a Cash-Based Approach?
Direct access laws in Virginia allow patients to seek care from a physical therapist without a physician referral, and a cash-based approach means we can provide high-quality case as soon as you start to feel any aches or pains. A cash-based approach also means:
Simplified Recovery:
Care is not dependent on health care coverage, and you do not need to wait for insurance approvals or receive a physician referral to receive care. Skipping these administrative steps simplifies care and shortens the recovery timeline.
Transparent Pricing:
There are no hidden fees or surprise bills-- you'll know exactly how much each appointment costs before you receive care.
Personalized Care:
Care begins as soon as you arrive for your first 1-on-1 appointment with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. There are no waiting rooms, rushed care, or getting passed off to assistants.
Fewer Visits:
Starting your healing journey with physical therapy means you won't waste time or money on chasing symptoms, getting referrals, or unnecessary diagnostic imaging. Fewer, more effective visits will speed your recovery and typically reduces overall costs.
