Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Mobile outpatient physical therapy involves healthcare professionals providing physical therapy services outside of a traditional clinic setting. Instead of patients commuting to a clinic, therapists visit patients in their homes or in assisted living/independent living facilities. A personalized one-on-one session lasting 60-70 minutes is conducted in the client's home by a state licensed PT or PTA.

TheraMove is credentialed with traditional Medicare/Medicaid Part B in Colorado. We also accept qualifying Medicare Advantage plans, along with private pay options for individuals without insurance coverage. TheraMove will check eligibility for Medicare/Medicaid plans and request specific insurance details such as patient deductibles, copay, and coinsurance. TheraMove and the patient will collaborate to determine the start of services after discussing insurance details. We will submit your claims to the medical insurance plan(s) you have provided information for and are currently enrolled in. You will receive a bill for any remaining balances after the insurance company processes your claim. Copays are required at the time of service. As a courtesy, we aim to verify your insurance coverage and benefits before your first visit.

When a patient is a traditional Medicare part B recipient, TheraMove will bill Medicare part B as primary. Traditional Medicare part B covers 80% of services provided in the home. The remainder 20% of services may be covered by the patient's secondary insurance (supplemental insurance) such as Tricare, BCBS, United Healthcare, etc. If the patient does not have a secondary insurance (supplemental insurance) to cover the remainder 20%, it will be the patient's responsibility to cover remainder 20%. On average this ranges between $20-$30 per 60-70 minute session.

All Medicare Advantage plans are different and TheraMove will check eligibility for all patients to determine if the insurance plan offers out of network benefits. Since Medicare Advantage plans vary widely, TheraMove will assess eligibility for each patient to ascertain whether their insurance plan includes out-of-network benefits. This approach ensures transparency and enables patients to make informed decisions regarding potential out-of-network benefits applicable to their therapy at TheraMove.

We welcome various payment options, such as cash, check, credit cards, debit cards, Health Savings Account (HSA), and Flexible Spending Account (FSA). This ensures convenience and accessibility for our patients.

We offer private pay options for uninsured patients seeking services to achieve their health goals. Patients are encouraged to participate in wellness programs after completing insurance-paid services to maintain and further enhance their progress toward optimal outcomes.

Scheduling with us is straightforward, we bring our services to your home. Whether you prefer mornings or evenings, we've got you covered. Before getting started with TheraMove it's imperative that we collect pertinent information to optimize our service delivery and develop a customized solution for your specific needs.

For our new patients, anticipate dedicating 60-90 minutes for your initial evaluation visit. The extended time allows your physical therapist enough time to conduct a comprehensive evaluation, and ensure that TheraMove can deliver optimal care to get you back to engaging in the activities you cherish the most. Subsequent sessions will be 60-70 minutes long, ensuring every patient receives personalized one-on-one care with their physical therapist in their home.

Physical therapists undergo extensive undergraduate and graduate level training in various medical sciences, including anatomy, physiology, kinesiology (study of joint movement), and orthopedics. Our therapists have graduated from accredited physical therapy programs and hold state licenses. TheraMove staffs both state licensed physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs).

Physical therapists supervise the competent care provided by physical therapist assistants, collaborating to treat and assist all patients in achieving their objectives. During treatment, a PT conducts the initial evaluation, after which a PTA treats the patient based on the established plan of care (POC) developed by the evaluating PT. TheraMove's therapist work as a team to provide the highest quality of care for all patients.

Physical therapy (PT) programs in the United States transitioned to the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree as the standard entry-level degree. This transition occurred over the years, with many programs completing the shift by the early 2000s.
