Prehab is a proactive approach to preparing your body for surgery by maximizing movement efficiency, strength, and mobility before the procedure. By focusing on improving these areas in advance, we can help reduce recovery time, minimize post-surgical complications, and enhance overall outcomes.

The good news is NO.
We are an out-of-network provider, meaning we do not directly participate with any insurance plans. This is a good thing. Many insurance companies do offer out-of-network benefits; and if you choose to submit for reimbursement with your insurance, we’ll provide an invoice that includes your diagnostic and treatment codes. If you’re curious about this option, call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask, “What are my out-of-network physical therapy benefits?”
-
By being out-of-network, insurance cannot dictate the care that you receive. You can be treated like the individual that you are. You get quality time with the clinician, the care that you actually need, and no unexpected bill with additional charges.
Another benefit of out-of-network care is that, if needed, we can also spend time working on wellness, return-to-sport, and performance improvement activities. These are not reimbursed in traditional clinics and therefore rarely, if ever, offered. Patients who’ve experienced a cash-based model often report needing less visits and a quicker return to activity.
More personalized care and faster results… It's better for you. It’s better for us.
-
Because we do not participate in Medicare (a federal government program), we cannot provide therapy services for Medicare patients. Ouch, right?
That said, it is possible to participate in a wellness/maintenance program, which is not considered a medical treatment by Medicare. If you’re interested, send us an email or set up a phone call so we can chat more about how this works.
-
Yes! … (that was an easy one)
-
Nope! North Carolina is what’s called a direct-access state, meaning you can directly access a Doctor of Physical Therapy without needing a referral from another provider.
Don’t worry, we’re trained to screen for red flags or conditions that are outside our scope of practice and will refer accordingly. In many cases, we can help you get an appointment with other providers sooner than you would trying to call on your own.
Many athletes unknowingly delay their time to treatment by getting (often unnecessary) urgent care visits, orthopedic appointments, and expensive imaging, ultimately just to be referred to Physical Therapy anyways!
Save time. Save money. Feel better faster. Come see us!
