If you look around, you may be noticing a trend in the healthcare space: more and more providers switching to an out-of-network model. Reimbursements from insurance companies are on the decline making it more difficult for healthcare providers to focus on quality care. Cash-based practice allows providers to put the patient first.
In a cash-based treatment model, the physical therapist enters into an agreement with the patient to provide physical therapy services in a manner that both parties have determined will help them reach treatment goals most efficiently. The patient pays at the time of service, allowing the therapist to focus attention on providing the best possible care while keeping administrative costs low. Patients in an out-of-network model can expect to see their therapist 1 x every 1-3 weeks because of the higher quality care provided at each session.
