DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A CHOICE?

When your car breaks down, it’s obvious that you have a choice in your mechanic. Just as you have a choice in where we get our haircut, or where we to go out to eat, or have your teeth cleaned. Did you know you also have a choice in who will provide your physical therapy services?

For anyone, including your medical providers, to state that you have to see a specific physical therapist is inaccurate. You have a right to choose who provides your therapy, your x-rays, even your lab work. Medical providers can recommend someone, but ultimately, you have a choice!

Most health insurance contracts say that you have the right to receive health care related services where you want. If you seek care from a provider that participates with your insurance, your costs will be lower. It should be noted that your insurance carrier has no obligations to a single medical office; their obligation is to you so you can get the very best in healthcare. Inform yourself. You should call around and speak with different physical therapy clinics to find out how they can help you. Go with the company that answers your questions and seems truly interested in assisting you back to health. At Elite Physical Therapy, that is exactly what we want to do…. help you back to health. We want to be your provider of choice.

Your ability to choose is very important. You have the right to take a prescription from any physical therapy clinic and be seen by your provider of choice. If you choose Elite Physical Therapy, we can see you, regardless of whose name is at the top of the prescription. Additionally, you can tell your medical provider to write the referral to your clinic of choice. We hope that the conversation from your medical office should go like this: “Where do you want to go for PT?” and we hope that you say, “I want to go to Elite Physical Therapy!” More than anything, we want you to know that you have a choice. It is your body, your money, and your insurance contract; so exercise your right to choose.
