PAYMENT
Cash Pay
Telan Nelson, PT is a fee-for-service practice. This means that Telan Nelson, PT is not “in-network” with any private health plans. By remaining out-of-network, less time is spent on billing and insurance questions and more time is spent providing excellent, one-on-one care with a physical therapist, not an aid or an assistant.
Payment is due at the time of service and I will not bill your insurance company (unless you have Medicare). I can, upon request, provide receipts with diagnosis and treatment codes which you may submit to your private insurance company. These receipts are not a guarantee of reimbursement as such payment depends on your individual insurance plan policies. However, many insurance plans pay 60-80% of out-of-network services and may waive your co-pay for these services. In the end, you may end up paying out of pocket the same as or less than in-network services for more individualized care!
