How Do I Know If I Have Out Of Network Benefits?

This is easy! All you have to do is call your insurance company and ask them if your plan includes out of network benefits. If you do have out of network benefits ask your insurance company the following questions:

• Do I have an out of network deductible?
• Have I met my deductible for the year? If not how far away am I from meeting the deductible?
• Is there paperwork that must be filled out when submitting the out of network claims? If so do you provide that paperwork?
• Do I need to be pre-certified for physical therapy sessions in order to receive reimbursement?

At Karen Litzy Physical Therapy, the safety of our patients and therapists is our number one priority. We are taking the following steps to ensure safety during our sessions in the home:

• We require that ALL therapists and patients wear masks during ALL therapy sessions, no exceptions.
• We require that all therapists wash their hands immediately upon entering the home before the session.
• We require that all shoes be removed before entering the home.
• We will try to keep six feet apart during the sessions as much as possible.Therapists are taking their temperature and pulse ox reading everyday before seeing patients.
• We ask that all patients take their temperature on the day of their appointment.
• We as that all patients wash their hands before the in home session.

A telehealth session is about the same as an in person session without the hands on work (obviously). It may include patient education, movement evaluation, and instruction on exercise, self mobilization, etc.
