The Benefits of Cash Based Physical Therapy
We are a self-pay Physical Therapy and Sports Performance practice. In a cash-based treatment model, the Physical Therapist provides the patient with physical therapy services that both parties have determined will help them reach treatment goals most efficiently.
Insurance pays for what’s necessary to prevent decline. We focus on what’s possible to help you perform better, move better, and live better. This positions self-pay care as proactive, not reactive. The smart person chooses prevention over damage control.
In this model, the patient pays at the time of service, allowing the therapist to focus attention on providing the best possible service while keeping administrative costs low. You may pay for services using your HSA account, cash, a check, or a credit or debit card.
Our goal is to spend more time with patients and allow them to regain control over their healthcare choices. Every week you wait or settle for the minimum standard of care is another week of pain, stiffness, or lost time. Our self-pay clients choose to get ahead of the problem. Now they’re not just paying for PT—they’re avoiding opportunity cost.
Self-pay billing eliminates this confusion and allows for clarity in decision-making on the part of the patient and their physical therapist. Most of our high-performing clients—business owners, runners, and caregivers—opt for this level of service. They want results, not red tape. Documentation for evaluations, treatment visits, and progress notes is performed just like any physical therapy practice and complies with all legal requirements.
Self-Pay approach IS ACTUALLY cost-effective
Physical Therapists have extensive education and training to be neuromuscular primary care experts. For the majority of patients with movement or pain problems, Physical Therapists are often the provider of choice. For people with high deductibles, it makes financial sense to pay a Physical Therapist directly for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment. With self-pay, you know exactly what you’re paying, what you’re getting, and what to expect. No surprise bills, no denials, no waiting on approvals. People hate uncertainty. Clarity feels empowering.

ACCESSIBILITY AND SHORTER WAIT TIMES
In the state of Louisiana, Physical therapists have direct access. Patients typically have shorter wait times in a cash practice; the sooner the patient is seen, the better the outcome.
WE FOCUS SOLELY ON THE PATIENT-THERAPIST RELATIONSHIP
We don’t demand your insurance card and ID before we will even speak with you, it doesn’t get in the way of patients getting to know our practice and the Physical Therapist. Taking insurance middlemen out of the equation allows therapists to spend more time directly with patients. This is opposed to having to abide by rigid insurance guidelines and time spent based on insurance coding, dependent on your provider. All patients, insured or uninsured, in-network or out-of-network, are welcome. Payment is by cash or charge. Patients aren’t rejected because of their insurance carrier. Cash practices that are designed for self-pay patients are free from outside interference to address the circumstances and needs of individual patients, not what insurance deems allowed or necessary. It also allows us to support our patients and provide more options via our app and virtual access.
