Save Money with Direct Access
If you didn't know, Delaware is a direct access state for physical therapy, which means you don't need a script or referral to be seen.
This may not seem like that big of a deal, but I wanted to share a story of how this can actually save you boat loads of money!
I had a current patient come back to see me after a few months off with complaints of lower back and groin pain.
They had unfortunately been to the ER multiple times, had follow ups with numerous providers which lead to numerous diagnostic testing that provided them little to no answers for their pain.
During their return visit to me, we spent the full hour together discussing what they were experiencing and performed clinical tests to formulate a hypothesis as to what was going on.
Their pain and symptoms weren't totally clear cut, but we had an idea of where to start so I assigned them 4 exercises to perform at home and scheduled them to come back in 3 weeks.
Three weeks later, to my elation, they told me their pain was completely gone!
They then mentioned how frustrated they felt that they'd gone to all of these appointments, had all of these tests done, received all these bills, just to have their pain figured out in 1 hour with me...
Their medical bills totaled THOUSANDS of dollars.
Their session with me, with the treatment plan they were on, cost them $160...
So my question for you is...would you rather:
A) Spend all your time and money going to all these appointments and tests just to maybe figure out whats wrong but have nothing done to address your pain?
OR
B) Spend your time and money to work with a physical therapist to diagnose your issue while ACTIVELY working on helping you feel better, move better and perform better?
