We understand that starting physical therapy can come with a lot of questions—whether it’s about what to expect during your first visit, insurance coverage, or how long recovery might take. Our FAQ section is here to provide quick, helpful answers so you can feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Physical Therapy Insurance & Payments
Navigating health insurance and managing payments can be a challenging and confusing task. At Inspira Physical Therapy, we understand the complexities involved and have developed a streamlined approach to make health insurance and payments much easier for our valued patients.
Transparent, Affordable Prices with Upfront Out-of-Pocket Cost Estimates
We believe in providing our patients with complete transparency when it comes to pricing. No more unexpected bills or hidden charges. With Inspira Physical Therapy, you can rest assured knowing that you’ll receive the exact upfront out-of-pocket cost estimates for your healthcare services. This allows you to plan your finances accordingly and make informed decisions about your care.
No Surprise Bills – Clear Communication of Costs
One of the biggest concerns for individuals seeking medical care is the fear of receiving surprise bills after treatment. At Inspira Physical Therapy, we prioritize open communication. We will inform you upfront about the cost of your care at the time of service. This way, you can be fully aware of what you owe, eliminating any unexpected financial shocks down the line.

Understanding In-Network vs. Out-of-Network
In-network refers to services provided by healthcare professionals who have a contract with your insurance provider. These services typically come with predetermined fees, co-pays, deductibles, and out-of-pocket limits.
Out-of-network care, on the other hand, involves services provided by healthcare professionals who are not contracted with your insurance provider. In such cases, the coverage and reimbursement rates may vary.
Out-of-network At Inspira Physical Therapy & Pilates
We are out-of-network with all other insurance providers. If you have out-of-network benefits, we can assist you in submitting your claims for reimbursement. The first 10 visits or within 30 days of the first Physical Therapy treatment, out-of-network patients do not need a prescription. After 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first, a prescription is required for physical therapy. A good faith estimate is available upon request for patients who don’t plan on submitting for out-of-network reimbursement. This prescription policy does not apply to women in their 1st or 3rd trimester of pregnancy, high-risk pregnant individuals seeking internal evaluation and manual therapy.
While in-network physical therapy might appear more cost-effective per visit, opting for extended 1-on-1 sessions with out-of-network providers enables focused treatment, comprehensive education, and accelerated recovery. This approach necessitates fewer overall appointments to balance the higher per-visit expenses. Investing in dedicated expertise expedites the healing process.

New York is a direct access state, meaning you can see a physical therapist without a physician’s referral for up to 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. However, some insurance plans still require a referral for coverage.
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that allow access to the area being treated. For lower body issues, shorts or sweatpants work well. For upper body concerns, tank tops or t-shirts are appropriate.
Please bring your insurance card, photo ID, any relevant medical records or imaging reports, a list of medications, and your physician’s referral if you have one.
