Does living freed, inc. accept insurance?
No, we believe the care you receive should be based on medical necessity and determined by a medical professional. Living Freed, Inc. practices a “patient first” business model and we believe you will see and feel the difference in quality when we focus on benefiting you first.
Insurance companies often dictate or negatively influence the quantity and quality of care because they follow the “business first” model. Their priority is making money so your quality of care is sacrificed. Insurance companies will only reimburse a fractional amount to the healthcare providers who accept insurance. This forces the healthcare providers to see multiple patients an hour to stay in business. the end result is your quality of care declines.
Here at Living Freed, Inc. we refuse to let sub-par treatment be the case and we believe your quality of care should never be compromised. Each of our patients receive an hour of individualized care, skilled one-on-one sessions, specialized hands on therapy and evidence based treatments.
Can i bill my insurance for reimbursement of my out-of-pocket expenses?
This depends on the insurance you have, but yes, most patients can get reimbursement for their treatments. You should be able to print claim forms off your insurance company’s website, and send it in with the necessary receipts and treatment codes that will be provided upon request at the clinic. The amount of reimbursement is completely dependent on your insurance plan. If you call your insurance company to inquire, you should ask about reimbursement for “Out-of-Network Physical Therapy” expenses.
Do I need a referral to receive treatment?
No you do not need a referral to receive treatment.
I’ve read or have a friend with the same issue as me. Can I just to what they did for treatment?
No! Everyone’s body and problems are different. You can potentially injury yourself more by doing something that was prescribed for someone else. Make appointment today and get the appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
