In this blog series, we are exploring the benefits of cash pay physical therapy when compared to traditional, insurance-based PT clinics. Today, we will focus on two specific advantages. Let’s dive in!
One-On-One Care
In insurance-based physical therapy clinics, physical therapists are often scheduled to see two or three patients at the same time each hour. This only allows each patient to get 50% or less of their provider’s attention during their treatment session. Cash based physical therapists treat every patient one-on-one for each hour-long treatment session. This allows them to provide 100% of their attention to whatever the patient needs that day: manual therapy, exercises, or a combination of both.
During a one-on-one session, the physical therapist can provide manual therapy uninterrupted. They can re-assess the patient’s response to each intervention and adjust accordingly. While the patient performs exercises, the physical therapists can provide focused, uninterrupted feedback to the patient to ensure proper form and performance of each movement. One-on-one care allows for more effective use of treatment time, helping patients reach their goals faster.
Consistency in Care
In insurance-based PT clinics, it is not uncommon for patients to see many different physical therapists over the course of their care. This can cause inconsistent and less efficient care. In this setting, the patient may feel they have to repeat themselves every time they come to their PT sessions. With cash pay PT, you will see the same doctor of physical therapy every time. This ensures that your therapist is familiar with your history, your impairments, your progress, and your goals. The same therapist that evaluated you, prescribed your plan of care, and made goals with you at your first visit will walk through the entire journey of rehab and healing with you, from start to end. This consistency allows for more trust to develop between patient and provider as they go through the recovery process together.
