Kaizen Performance Therapy does not maintain direct contracts with any big insurance corporations. Why? Our mission is to provide the best quality of individualized treatment during every session which we cannot do at the rates insurance companies pay for treatment. We choose to make decisions based on what is best for the patient without limiting our treatment to what an insurance company deems medically necessary. 

Traditional insurance based physical therapy clinics have appointment slots that average around 30 minutes and one on one time with your doctor is often half that time. The remainder of your appointment is spent with aides or technicians instructing patients on exercise. Insurance companies have lowered the rate they reimburse PT services every year for the last 8 years. In order to combat this reduction in reimbursement, insurance based companies have to increase patient volumes to the detriment of the patient. When you spread your healthcare providers thin, nobody wins.

At Kaizen, instead of seeing a doctor for 15 minutes of your appointment you will spend the entire one hour visit with the physical therapist. This will allow better treatment and faster results, leading to quicker recovery time and fewer visits (saving time and money!). 

Physical therapy visits can be recommended up to several times a week. Visits will often require a copay or the patient to cover the visit entirely until their deductible is met (upwards of $5,000!). WIth our hour long individual treatment model our hope is to see you for fewer visits with faster results. Although we do not work directly with insurance companies we can provide you with the information you need to request reimbursement from your insurance. 

Eliminating the insurance company can save money and give power back to patients by allowing them to decide where they seek treatment and when they are healthy enough to stop physical therapy.
