Cash Pay May Be Right For You If:

  • You have a high deductible health plan or typically do not meet your deductible.

  • You want predictable upfront costs for your treatment.

  • You have an HSA or FSA to help offset the cost.

  • You value personalized care and a direct relationship with your therapist.

  • You prioritize flexibility and control over your treatment schedule.

Benefits of Cash Pay Physical Therapy: Diving Deeper

There are several advantages to consider:

  • Transparency and Cost Predictability: You know exactly what your treatment will cost up front. This eliminates the surprise of unexpected co-pays or big bills if your claim is denied. In some cases, cash-pay therapy can be more affordable than traditional insurance-based care. Because insurance companies only pay a percentage of the billed fees, the cost of treatment at traditional clinics is inflated. If you have a high deductible, you will be paying that inflated cost with your own money. In our area, the typical price for a physical therapy visit is $80-$150. At Willow Tree your evaluation will be $120 and treatments after that are $75 for 45 minutes.

  • Flexibility and Control: You have more control over your scheduling. Appointments are easier to book, and treatment frequency can be tailored to your specific needs and progress, not insurance limitations.

  • Personalized Care: The therapist can focus on your individual goals and concerns without restrictions imposed by insurance protocols. This allows for a more holistic and comprehensive treatment plan.
