What to Know About Timing, Coverage, and Communication

How Often We Visit

Therapy frequency is based on your needs and physician orders. Many plans start with more frequent visits to build momentum, then taper as independence improves.

Cost and Coverage

Physical therapy at home may be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance when criteria are met. We help confirm eligibility and explain any expected costs.

Your Care Plan and Communication

Your therapist creates a plan tailored to your goals and home environment, teaches exercises you can do safely between visits, and updates your care team as needs change.
