What Should I Bring To My First Visit?
Please complete the intake forms (which can be done through the Patient Portal). Please bring loose-fitting shorts, a T-shirt, and a sports bra/tank top (for our female clients), so the clinician may be able to access the body areas that need hands-on treatment. If you have any relevant imaging documents or medical documents, please bring them with you as well. If you have not had time to fill out the intake forms prior to your visit, please allow 15 minutes to fill out the necessary forms.

Do You Take My Insurance?
Limitless Physiotherapy mainly operates as an out-of-network provider. Clinics that operate as in-network providers of insurance plans often have to see 2-3 patients per hour spending limited one-on-one time with each patient and work on a plan of care dictated by insurance limitations. We believe that, by entering a contract directly with the patient/client rather than participating with restrictive insurance contracts, we can truly provide the highest quality of customer service and the expert care we desire to provide to our patients.
If your insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits from the following plans, your insurance may cover your care:

If you are a Medicare beneficiary (even if you have a secondary insurance), please note: Our licensed physical therapists are not enrolled as Medicare providers. As a result, Medicare will not cover or reimburse any services you receive from us, even if they might be covered elsewhere by a Medicare-enrolled provider. This includes services such as dry needling, which Medicare does not cover. By choosing our services, you agree to pay at the time of service with no expectation of Medicare reimbursement. We do not submit claims to Medicare, nor do we provide billing codes or statements for self-submission. If you prefer Medicare-covered services, we recommend seeking care from a Medicare-enrolled provider.
We are also not in-network with Medicare Advantage or Medicare Replacement Plans. If your plan allows out-of-network benefits, we may provide you with a bill to submit at your discretion, but payment is not guaranteed. Additionally, if you have a commercial insurance plan, you may submit claims to your insurer, but Medicare will not cover any remaining copays, co-insurance, or deductibles. If you have any questions about coverage or reimbursement, we encourage you to check with your insurance provider to understand your options.

What Are the Benefits of Seeing an Out-of-Network Physical Therapist?
All too often, patients with high deductible insurance plans get surprised to see a huge medical bill 2-3 months after they visit their healthcare provider. Furthermore, co-payments and co-insurance amounts are ever on the rise, making co-payments as high as $30, $40, even $50 per visit with an in-network physical therapist. If you are seeing your in-network physical therapist 3 days/week, that can add up to $90 - $150 of out-of-pocket expenses for you. Unfortunately, these clinics operate on seeing high volumes of patients, and the therapist has to divide his/her hour among 2-3 patients, with little to no hands-on time with each patient. After seeing a therapist for 15-20 minutes, you are directed to do exercises with aides that you could have done yourself at home.
At Limitless Physiotherapy, you get an uninterrupted time with your skilled physical therapist, every time. With skilled hands-on treatment throughout each session, you get better faster, saving you time, and potentially money, with fewer visits to the clinic.
