Frequently Asked Questions

No. At Spiro Physical Therapy we are out-of-network. We chose not to contract with insurance companies to ensure that YOU get the best care possible. Here is how:
  1. It allows us to treat each patient one-on-one for the entire session. The clinician's full attention is on your presentation, your goals and your needs.
  2. It allows us to create and execute a plan that will get you better faster - not a plan that is beholden to the parameters created by your insurance company.
  3. It allows us to respect your time. Conventional Physical Therapy has patients going into the clinic 3 days per week - being seen for an hour each session. Typically half of that time is spent doing work that could be done independently and without the help of a skilled therapist. At Spiro Physical Therapy each moment of the session is intentional, meaningful and beneficial. As a result, patients typically only need treatment 1 day per week - saving you time.
  4. It allows the Patient and Clinician to work together as a team to determine when the goals are met. Insurance will typically cut off authorization once the patients are "functional" but have not reached their full potential or their individual goals. It is important to us at Spiro that patients return to the highest level of activity available to them. Without the limitations of insurance, we are able to get you where you would like to be.
Yes. You can use your HSA or FSA. Let us know and we will be sure to give you an invoice to assist with this process. 
Yes. Upon request I will provide you with all the documentation and a super bill for each appointment. The amount that you will be reimbursed is based upon the out-of-network benefits that you have through your insurance plan. We are happy to help in providing any documentation that you may need to take advantage of these benefits. 
Not initially.  In the state of SC you can be seen by a Physical Therapist for 30 days without a referral from a physician.  If your plan is going to have you in treatment for more than 30 days, we will work together with you and your physician to get the appropriate referral. 
Wear comfortable and loose fitting clothes. 
Be mindful of the primary body part that we will be working on. Ensure that it can be reached easily and comfortably. Prepare for the initial evaluation to be systemic. Nothing in our bodies happens in isolation - so we do not treat just the body part of pain, we treat everything surrounding it as well.

No. The sessions do not expire. Within our system you have a great deal of autonomy around how and when you use your sessions. With the guidance of the clinician, a treatment plan will be created to best fit your physical, schedule and financial needs.
