- Direct cost savings for patients (cash-based clinics charge less than half of the amount insurance-based practices bill for the same procedure).
- Less visits required to fix the problem - your visits are determined by the Physical therapist which more than likely requires less visits if you're compliant with education/home program provided
- Direct Access - meaning you don't have to have a referral, just schedule an appointment with us - less appointments, less drive time, less stress
-Increased quality therapy time (the physical therapist spends more time with each patient and less time completing paperwork).
-This efficiency creates satisfied customers who see results faster.
Private Pay Physical Therapy clinics are a newer concept, and the main factor that makes private-pay practices work is the quality and expertise of the therapy provided. It takes a skilled and experienced therapist to have a successful private-pay physical therapy clinic because the best therapists accomplish the most in fewer visits. Dr. Besharses' experience, his unrivaled training in manual therapy and exercise prescription, and his reputation as an effective practitioner allow him the opportunity to maintain a private-pay practice.
No referral is needed. Patients seeking care from a physical therapist are able to receive evaluation and treatment from the therapist of their choosing without a physician referral. This provides overall convenient and very specific care for patients.
