DAT Pricing
Direct Access Therapy provides individual 60-minute treatment sessions. We offer dynamic treatments using current best evidence.
​
Massachusetts is an unrestricted direct access state. This allows patients to make an appointment with a physical therapist without the need for a referral from a MD. Direct Access Therapy utilizes a direct-pay model that allows for treatment based on the individual's needs without restrictions set by insurance companies. Direct-pay allows a patient to be seen without visit limitations, and it allows for services that insurance might not reimburse for such as preventative medicine, maintenance, and the use of dry needling or cupping.
​
Call your health insurance to see if you have Out of Network benefits. We will give you the paperwork you need to file with your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
​
Payment is due at the time of service. Patients can use FSA, HSA, credit cards, cash, check, or digital currency.

Can I use my insurance to pay for physical therapy treatment?The only insurance that we accept is Medicare Part-B. Otherwise, DAT is a direct pay for service clinic. We do not bill your insurance and we require you to pay at the time of service. We do offer paperwork for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
-
Why should I use a Direct Pay Physical Therapist?Direct Pay Physical Therapy can save you money in total costs! You likely have an insurance deductible. Deductibles have increased some in excess of $4000. An in-network PT clinic can bill insurance $200-$400 per session. That cost is your responsibility until your deductible is met. In-network PT clinics have to see more patients due to reducing reimbursement rates and will often schedule on the half hour to be profitable. You get one on one treatment for those 60 minutes with DAT at the location of your choice. Most patients at Direct Access Therapy are seen once a week to once every other week because of the personalized one on one care. This helps to reduce your weekly expenses with copays and coinsurances. Did we mention that there's no driving time and you dont have to get a baby sitter? Still not convinced?

How does this save me money? Do I need a referal?Massachusetts is an unrestricted direct access state. This means that you can make an appointment with a physical therapist without the need for a referal from your primary care physician or surgeon. This allows you to skip the wait and cost of seeing your MD and you can make an appointment to start feeling better today. In-network clinics will need a referal based on your insurance requirements. Your insurance may require a MD referal for reimbursement.
-
What forms of payment do you accept?We accept cash, check, major credit cards using our square card reader, and some digital curency such as Etherium and Bitcoin. We also accept FSA and HSA cards. Remember your FSA likely expires at the end of the year and you will loose that money!
-
How many visits will I need?This depends on your injury but typically patients will require 4-8 visits usually once a week. Packages are available for 6 or 12 treatments that will reduce the price of each visit by 10% or 20%.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your health care will cost
