Frequently Asked Questions

What makes our practice different?

 

We pride ourselves on being a specialized clinic with the highest level of trained clinicians.  We are hands-on and we love our comfortable, relaxing space where our patients and clients feel fully at ease.  All of our physical therapists hold advanced certifications (Board Certified in Women's Health, Board Certified in Orthopedics, Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialists) and 3 teach at the postgraduate level. 

 

What are the benefits of non-network services?

  • No wait times for insurance authorization or approval

  • Knowledge of our services and costs upfront (no surprise bills in 9 months!)

  • Targeted and tailored services mean better and shorter service times

  • We see our patients for less visits total than typical in-network clinics

  • We integrate class IV laser and dry needling without extra surcharges

  • Example:  You can go to an in-network provider and be seen for 30 minutes, 2x a week for 12 weeks at a co-pay of $50 (total cost of 1200) or you could see us for 90/55 minutes one-on-one for only 7 visits at once a week or every other week (total cost is 1040)

  • We can treat the whole body.  Insurance limits your therapist from treating more than 1 body part at a time.  But, if your pelvic pain relates to your neck pain, they are unable to address that.  Our team is able to address any components of your pain without having an insurance company dictate your care

 

Do you take insurance?

At RVA Holistic PT, our model is direct-pay, which allows us to provide you with the highest quality treatment without third-party insurance reviews, limited visits, and restrictions.  Our fees are far below competitors to accommodate self-pay and out-of-network clients.  

All of our sessions are one-on-one with a highly trained and experienced Doctor of Physical Therapy.  We see our patients typically once weekly to once monthly; our experience, extensive training, and teaching other pelvic health PTs help you get better, more quickly, with fewer appointments. 

We are an out-of-network provider and can provide you with a superbill (itemized document) complete with tax ID information for reimbursement from your insurance carrier.  You can use FSA or HSA accounts to pay for our physical therapy services.  We do not charge extra for class IV laser or dry needling!  However, we do not treat Medicare beneficiaries.

 

How many visits will I need?

This is a common question and it depends.  Number of visits ranges from 1 to 20.  For something like postpartum pain or diastasis, a typical range is 4-7 visits.   We also have online programs such as yoga for postpartum and a core recovery program

 

Do you take Medicare?

No, we are not a participating provider with Medicare.  We see clients who have Medicare coverage for Wellness visits only, clinical pilates, and non-covered services such as athletic performance, dry needling and class IV laser.  Contact us for more information.  

 

Do I need a prescription?

No referral? No problem. Virginia has limited “Direct Access” to Physical Therapy. Virginia law allows licensed physical therapists to provide direct physical therapy evaluation and treatment services including dry needling.

 

If you already have a prescription, please bring it to your first session.
