We're here to make it easy.
Insurance can be tricky, especially when determining if your physical therapy is covered by your plan. At Foothills Physical Therapy, we accept a wide range of health insurance plans and are here to help you navigating your insurance policy’s claims and benefits.
To make it easier on you, we verify your health benefits before your visit and inform you about any potential copays, deductibles, or coinsurance required for our treatment services.
For patients without health insurance or those who have exhausted their benefits, Foothills offers a self-pay option. Please contact us for more information on our service fees and payment options!
Please note:
We bill most insurance carriers for the patients. It is the patient’s responsibility to know their insurance policy and its limitations. The patient is required to present a valid insurance card on their first visit and as needed throughout care.
The patient is responsible for all portion of services due in full at the time services are provided by our office. Any outstanding balance, co-payments, and deductibles are due prior to checking in for your appointments.
If the patient has a deductible, we require that the patient pays $120 to $150 at each appointment until the deductible has been met. This is an estimate on what the insurance company will leave the patient with, it is not a guarantee. Any overpayment will be applied to future visits or returned to the patient after treatment is completed. Any underpayment will result in a balance and will be invoiced to the patient.
Regarding payment & insurance:
