Insurance and Billing Information

We are happy to bill your primary (and if you have it - secondary) insurance for you. Although we will call your insurance company and check on your physical therapy benefits, we strongly suggest that you do the same. You are responsible for all copayments and the percentage of charges that your insurance company does not cover.

California law and all insurance companies require that you have a prescription from a physician with a diagnosis written on it.

MEDICARE NOTE: Effective January 1, 2009, Medicare has instituted a yearly cap on combined physical therapy and speech therapy services. You may be billed a maximum of $1840.00 per calendar year. Medicare will pay 80% ($1472.00) of this amount and you or your supplemental insurance are responsible for the balance ($368.00). If you have had physical therapy or speech therapy services earlier this year, it is very important that you tell our office when calling to make an appointment.

ABA Physical Therapy Associates is a member of the following networks:

• Blue Shield PPO
• Cigna PPO

• United Healthcare PPO (through the Multiplan Network only)

CANCELLATION AND NO-SHOW POLICY: We make every effort to remind you of your physical therapy appointments. We will give you a scheduling card and call you the day before to remind you of your appointment. Therefore we require 24 hours notice when canceling your physical therapy session. For no-shows or late cancellations, we charge a $75.00 cancellation fee. As we do not "double book" or overlap our appointments, this allows us time to fill your assigned time slot. We understand that emergencies and unforeseen illnesses do occur and will take this into account. However, we ask that you respect our time and those of other patients waiting to see us and call ahead if you cannot make your appointment.
