"Before PT, I was on crutches for a month.
Working with Aracelli and Michael, they were able to help me unwind
the injury while I worked on strengthening the areas around it.
Each week, we regrouped and they tailored that day's PT to suit
specifics of my progress. Aracelli and Michael understand that progress
is something that YOU must participate in. It comes from you. That
spirit makes the PT what it ought to be. Effective. I'm on my feet,
up and running and aiming for Boston next year."

Insurance
Information
As licensed providers of physical therapy in New York, the care
we provide is reimbursable by insurance. In some cases we are an
in-network provider, meaning we’ve agreed to accept payment directly
from your insurance company. In other cases, we are considered an
out-of-network provider, which means that your insurance company
will typically reimburse about 60 to 80% of our charges once your
deductible has been met. We can verify your benefits and let you
know how your care here is covered, please call 718-369-0505.

Out Of Network
Why should I come out of network, when I can go to an
in-network clinic and just pay a flat co-pay?
We are not as rushed as the typical in-network clinic that is forced
to see more patients per hour to generate enough revenue to cover
their costs. Therefore:
• We are able to make medical care decisions based on your individual
needs and not on insurance company needs.
• We are able to treat you as an individual and are able to go
above and beyond to deliver the best level of care we can.
• We’ve all been in a healthcare provider’s office
and had to wait up to an hour (or even more) before we’re
seen. This is annoying and a waste of your valuable time. At Southwest
Physical therapy, because we’re not in a “rushed”
environment, we are able to get you started within 5 minutes of
your arrival.
• After our initial evaluation, we will provide you with a specific
plan of care to resolve your condition and meet your functional
goals. We do not employ a template approach to your care in order
to meet time constraints.
• You can expect to make significant progress in your condition
within two weeks or we will re-evaluate our strategy and guide
you to a more appropriate plan of care.
• Our approach integrates prevention, rehabilitation and long term
fitness to support health for your lifetime and reduce your risk
for life altering medical conditions.
• Because our focus is on you and not on the insurance company
requirements, we can maximize your rehab potential.
• Last, but certainly not least, all healthcare providers
are under increasing paperwork pressure from insurance companies.
This is evidenced by the following NY
Times article about one physician who tired of the insurance
game. It’s an interesting read if you have time and gives
you an example of why we chose to become out-of-network providers
in some cases.
Fee For Service
When you pay at the time of service, you are charged a reduced rate.
Since the insurance companies dictate the number of visits and the
duration of your treatment time, fee for service allows you to get
the treatment that you need.
