Do I really not need a doctor’s referral?
Correct — Indiana allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can start with an evaluation right away. Some insurance plans still require a referral for coverage; we check yours when you book and handle the paperwork if one is needed.
What does PT cost with insurance? Without?
We’re in-network with most major plans — typical copays run $20–$50 per visit depending on your plan, and we verify your exact benefit before your evaluation. Self-pay is a flat $120 per session, evaluation included, with package pricing available.
How many visits will I need?
Most orthopedic cases run 8–12 visits over 6–10 weeks; post-surgical protocols run longer and follow your surgeon’s timeline. You’ll get an estimated visit count at your evaluation, and the 4-week retests keep it honest.
Is it really one-on-one the whole time?
Yes — 45 minutes with your Doctor of Physical Therapy, every visit. No aides running your exercises, no double-booked slots, and you keep the same therapist for your entire plan of care.
Does dry needling hurt, and is it covered?
Most patients feel a brief muscle twitch and some post-session soreness, similar to a hard workout. Coverage varies by plan — when it isn’t covered, it’s a $40 add-on to your session. We’ll always tell you before it’s on the bill.
