While your first reaction may be that our method will cost you more money out-of-pocket, you will see in our example below that our system may actually save you money while saving you time and providing you with effective treatment and the knowledge and confidence to maintain your active lifestyle.
Conventional Physical Therapy
In general, therapists at clinics that accept insurance rates are required to see 3–4 patients per hour and usually spend an average of 15-20 minutes of one-on-one time with each patient while aides and technicians instruct patients in exercises or take them through “Exercise Flow Sheets”.
An average patient is asked to see a physical therapist 2-3 times per week. During those visits, you work with an actual physical therapist for 15-20 minutes each session—a total of 30-60 minutes. If your co-pay is $45 per visit, you’re paying $90 - $135 for an average of 45 minutes of time with a therapist, not to mention traveling to the clinic 2-3 times per week and potentially spending an hour there each time.
A typical patient is then asked to see a physical therapist for a period of 6–8 weeks (18–24 visits). That means your $45 co-pay will cost you between $810–$1080 and 3 times the amount of total time that you’d spend in our clinic! That's not to mention if you have a higher co-pay or have to meet a high deductible first (making the cost benefit of coming to Swift Physical Therapy even higher)!
Swift Physical Therapy And Performance
Because we are not beholden to insurance companies, our physical therapists are able to work 1-on-1 with clients for their entire hour long session. During the session, they have time to discuss, assess and treat (hands on and through guided exercises). They are also able to provide tailored at home exercise programs.
Given the continuous extra time and attention with a therapist in a single session, the same patient from the Conventional Therapy way will typically only come in for one session per week at Swift Physical Therapy. They will spend the full session with a physical therapist at a cost of $125 and will only have to account for a session and travel time once per week, causing less disruption to their week.
That same patient will typically only require one session per week for about 4-6 weeks (4-6 visits) (some may need - or want - more). That means the total cost to you for 4-6 sessions is around $500-$1000, not to mention the time you will be saving. There are also options to purchase packages for lower rates, rate above is for a single session.
