Question 1

What is physical therapy ?

Accepted Answer

Physical therapy is a specialized branch of healthcare that focuses on improving and restoring the body's function and mobility. With a range of techniques and treatments, physical therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. From managing chronic pain to promoting recovery after surgery or injury, physical therapy has proven to be an essential component of overall wellness and rehabilitation.

Question 2

What is the Cost?

Accepted Answer

We are contracted with Medicare Part B. Most patients with Medicare and a secondary insurance have full coverage with no out-of-pocket cost for medically necessary physical therapy.
If you do not have Medicare, we offer self-pay physical therapy and can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

We also offer a Home Health Wellness Program for patients who want continued support with strength, balance, mobility, or fall prevention outside of skilled PT services. Wellness visits are self-pay and are available even while you are receiving home health nursing or therapy services, when medically appropriate.
 If you do not have Medicare, we accept self-pay clients and we will create a “superbill” for submission to your insurance company to help you use your benefits.

Question 3

What to expect for my session?

Accepted Answer

Expect to come and work 1 on 1 with our therapist focused on your goals and plan set up at evaluation. Please wear cloths that are comfortable to move and stretch in.

Question 4

Do I need a Doctor referral ?

Accepted Answer

No referral is needed in California.
For Medicare patients, we simply need a physician-signed plan of care, which we will handle for you.

Question 5

Is this similar to home health care therapy?

Accepted Answer

MoveBetter provides in-home outpatient physical therapy, which is different from home health care. Our services are for anyone who needs physical therapy and prefers the convenience of being seen at home—you do not need to be homebound to receive care from us.
Home health physical therapy, on the other hand, is only available to individuals who meet Medicare’s homebound criteria and are typically recovering from a recent hospitalization, surgery, or significant medical change.

Question 6

Do you communicate with my Doctors office ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we communicate with your referring provider as needed. We follow all HIPAA guidelines to ensure your information remains safe and confidential.

Question 7

What territory do you cover?

Accepted Answer

Currently we are working in the San Luis Obispo County with more focus on Atascadero at this time.
