Insurance Is a Health Ally….Right?

THE MYOMUV DIFFERENCE

If you’re reading this, you may be interested in working with us, but not quite sure about us being “out-of-network” or “direct-pay”. How greedy of us to not take your insurance. I mean, after-all; nobody is a more of healthy ally for you than your insurance… right? Becky that lives across the country knows where you should go to receive healthcare and what type of treatments you need to overcome that injury/ache/pain.

LET ME EXPLAIN JUST A FEW THINGS TO HELP YOU MAKE A CONFIDENT DECISION:

You may have said or thought these types of things:

  • “I would prefer to use my insurance benefits for PT.”

  • “That seems like a lot of money.”

It’s totally normal for you to feel this way. The current healthcare landscape for active-adults and athletes is changing drastically. As insurance companies continue to reduce payment to PTs the quality of care that patients are receiving is being reduced. Co-pays are also at all-time highs and continue to increase.

THIS ISN’T JUST BAD FOR PATIENTS, BUT FOR THERAPIST TOO!

Many PTs are leaving their jobs in search for healthier and more sustainable work environments. Most of these PTs are looking for “out-of-network” private practices (like mine!) to work for.

We believe you can achieve anything through the right medical care, movement practice, and lifestyle changes. To accomplish all this, we are big on bringing it back to basics. Our current medical environment is quick to tell us that we are broken and can only be fixed by pills, shots or surgery. Myomuv is here to show you that there is another way. Your body has the amazing ability to heal itself, to adapt and to survive in any environment. We just need to get out of our own way.

The path back to our healthiest self is not through canned approaches and outdated methods, such as ice packs, therabands, and stationary bikes. This one-dimensional strategy is rampant in traditional, third-party-pay physical therapy practices – you’ll soon see our tactics are delightfully different! Myomuv is a private-pay physical therapy & performance practice. Let’s shed some light on what private-pay physical therapy is and how this method will likely save you time, money and resources, while also helping you achieve your desired results. True st

Let’s Use A Case Example To See How Two Different Types of Care Play Out..

Conclusion….

At the end of 6-months, Mike has spent $225 less than his buddy Tim. Although both men were recovering from similar injuries, Mike invests less than a third of the time (10.6 vs. 32 hours) for a fuller recovery that got him back to the lifestyle he loved sooner. This outcome also doesn’t account for the intangibles around enjoying a dynamic, individualized care plan and relationship built with his Myomuv PT.

I Want to Call My Insurance to See if I Have Any Out-Of-Network Benefits

When people hear that we’re “out-of-network” they usually want to call their insurance to see what benefits they have… as they should! But we have some advice for you if you’re thinking this.

If you’re going to do some investigation regarding your PT benefits, you might as well get the FULL PICTURE.

People usually just ask… “Do I have any out-of-network benefits?” And if the answer is “no”, or “only after $X,XXX deductible is met”, they then immediately think, “well I guess I’ll stay in-network”… but this person still has no clue how much the “in-network route” will cost them, or what the value comparison is.

So, please take advantage of the two checklists below to make sure you have all of the information you need to make the best decision for yourself. Knowledge is power, right?

 

WHAT TO ASK YOUR INSURANCE AGENT:

 

  • ❓Do I have an in-network physical therapy deductible? If so, how much will I have to pay out-of-pocket before you will help cover my in-network PT costs?

  • ❓What is my in-network co-pay?

  • ❓Do I have an out-of-network deductible? If so, how much is it?

  • ❓What is the easiest way to submit a self-claim?

  • ❓Do I have any out-of-network benefits?

I STILL WANT TO CALL AROUND TO FIND A PLACE THAT TAKES MY INSURANCE

 

This can be a totally sensible thing to think about and want to do. We just want to make sure that you fully understand the difference in cost and quality care that you’ll be receiving. Sometimes going in-network is just as expensive or more, and for a lesser experience and results.

So we highly encourage you to use the checklist below when calling around to get the facts straight about your PT options!

WHAT TO ASK A PHYSICAL THERAPY CLINIC:

  • ❓How much 1-on-1 time will I get with the doctor of physical therapy each visit?
    Here sessions average 50-70 minutes of 1:1 time with your doctor of PT.

  • ❓Will I have the same PT every session?
    Here you will always have the same PT!

  • ❓How many visits per week are typically prescribed?
    Here it’s never more than once per week, and sometimes we are even able to spread sessions out over longer periods of time.

  • ❓How long is the average plan of care?
    Here it averages 6-10 weeks but varies greatly depending on the specific case.

  • ❓Do your PTs specialize in the services I need?
    Here we specialize in athletes, active adults, cyclists, golfers, crossfit athletes, powerlifters, and hoopers.

  • ❓Can you guarantee that I will never get a surprise bill?
    Here we always guarantee that you will always know exactly what you are paying for and will never be surprised with a bill.
